Not all people who appear to be aloof and indifferent are. I’ve been accused of both, but I’m not. I’m just an introvert who pays attention, listens, and watches–a person of few words who hates small talk and wants to listen and learn before feeling comfortable enough to add to the conversation. Give people a chance. Are they truly indifferent, or just listening and learning–soaking in information? In my case, people have given me a chance and have gotten to know me to tell me what they thought at first. But not everyone gives the benefit of the doubt. Give them a chance before jumping to an aloof conclusion.
Of course, one doesn’t just go around merely labeling and pigeonholing people; that would be ludicrous. One was merely pointing out two different kinds of mind, and the implications involved for each. 🙂

Very good points. I too have been called aloof, still i like what Tom had to say. Thanks for the comment.
