Are you comfortable with quiet, or do you feel the need to fill the void?

Olivia enjoys Nick's company in part because he's "comfortable with silence." Are you comfortable with quiet, or do you feel the need to fill the void? Why do you think you lean the way you do?

I really don't consider myself an introvert, but I love quiet, especially when I'm reading.

Quiet soothes my soul.

I am a part-time introvert. I must have some quiet, alone time each week to recharge and restore myself.

I am a musician so listening/hearing is very important, but I appreciate the quiet silence especially hiking in the woods which mysteriously recharges my batteries.

I am very comfortable with quiet. I love being alone. For this reason some of the interaction of the novel was
hard for m to listen to.

I am only comfortable with quite when i am alone - if others are around I would rather hear all different types of noise than just a few sounds - that annoys me.

I need quiet to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day life. I enjoy company and conversation, but I also enjoy the rejuvenating quality of quietness.

I am very comfortable with my solitude. I live out in the boonies with only wildlife for company.

Very comfortable with the quiet. I think most readers are, but I also don't think that most humans, or at least Americans, realize what real quiet is. We are so used to the hum of appliances, traffic on nearby roads or streets, jets flying overhead, etc. that what we think is quiet is not truly quiet. One needs to go to remote places to truly experience real quiet.
