I agree (though it is a pretty awful way to describe it!).<br /><br />Part of this is when people are talking on their cell phones in public places. I hate having to hear all of it, and at such volume, and with the crazy looking gesturing sometimes.<br /><br />Occasionally, I catch myself divulging too much information when speaking to an acquaintance and I almost always regret it.

I tend to be shy and private but I would agree that self-assuredness is probably the key to an air of elegant mystique.Madame Là-bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703782237948233124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-10218709132719716272014-06-20T00:28:59.034+12:002014-06-20T00:28:59.034+12:00I agree that being reserved or having "mystiq...I agree that being reserved or having "mystique" is an attractive quality. It is not exactly an American trait where "letting it all hang out" (if I may use a phrase from the '60's) seems to be the norm. And those of us who are reserved either because of shyness or a genuine desire to be more private are often accused of being snooty. Having an air of mystery takes a certain amount of self-assuredness which I truly admire.Kristien62https://www.blogger.com/profile/04141776821818167047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-10009671293830688292014-06-19T19:48:36.513+12:002014-06-19T19:48:36.513+12:00I have never been drawn to too much information or...I have never been drawn to too much information or gossip and that is not usual and can be seen by some as "snobbishness" but I call it discretion. I don't know if the French are more discreet but it's certainly chic to be so.<br /><br />Great series Fiona.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751315680374413649noreply@blogger.com
