☆  reticent  無口な

============================

Ooh, it’s Friday the 13th… 

Reticent isn’t a word you hear very often these days. Someone who is reticent does not tell people about things… so I guess it’s pretty hard to be reticent in the age of social media! Everyone tells everyone else about everything! I guess that’s not really true, people do still keep some things private, but I really do think that social media may be a reason why I don’t hear about people being reticent very often these days.

Other words that you could use instead of reticent are uncommunicative, quiet, reserved, silent, or tight-lipped. Is being reticent a common character trait in Japan?

Bye,
