Not shy, but doesn’t talk much

[yorn]

What type of person isn’t shy, but just doesn’t say much? They seem happy for the most part. They can talk but usually short. Most of the things they say are smart ass comments, the comments are the type where you think "wow where did that come from". They’re weird/different/unique but extremely funny when they do make comments. Their communication skills are severely lacking. They’re not shy, they’re just not very communicative verbally or visually/body language. They don’t hold conversations very well, but sometimes they can condensate well. They can click with a very small handful of people who they will talk with or hang out with for hours and others they do not (seconds or a few mins or less). Its like they are extremely indifferent or disinterested in anyone else, it doesn’t matter whether its male or female. Almost as if the other people just don’t exist. They lose interest in conversations quickly. They don’t talk about themselves. They smile a lot

That's kind of a hard description to pinpoint. I'm responding because a lot of it sounds like me. I'm not too shy--in fact I'm very open and can be outgoing in a lot of circumstances. But I don't say much and typically avoid conversation when possible, and I rarely initiate it. I'm really good at discussing things that are strictly business--that is if it's about schoolwork, or something for the job, or something about a transaction in a store. But if it ever goes to a personal level, I don't hold the conversation at all, and become disinterested immediately. I do often feel very indifferent, and I'm not interested in other people, so I tend to lose my concentration if they start talking about themselves, and I have to consciously make an effort to listen and focus on what they're saying, because otherwise it'll just go right over my head. And I do smile a lot, more than most.
One thing that's different though is while I don't really talk about myself much, just for lack of that personal conversation, I'm very willing to talk about myself. If somebody has a question for me, I love answering it, and I'm very open and honest. And another difference with me is I don't make any smartass or funny remarks, and I don't think I'm really that unique. Any remarks I do make typically come out sounding normal and usually related to whatever the topic at hand is, and nothing personal. But I think that kind of thing depends on somebody's personality or way of expressing himself or herself, not so much a mental disorder.

Anyway I'm not sure why you're asking, but if you're looking for somebody who can relate or has similar tendencies, I hope that helps somewhat.

Any responses are welcomed, whether you have an idea what is going on or you relate to the above. You hit that spot on, school, work, money, things about life, there’s conversation.... anything on the personal level as you said, not very conversational, although relationship talk they’re particularly a good source. They’re not very serious, as I said mostly smart ass comments, not really interested in asking questions about others either. They seem like they’re always up to something. They think extremely fast, so fast that they actually have to stop and process what’s happening, if that makes sense?? They act before they think.
Another thing I can add is they seem like they are drunk or high even though they are absolutely not. They’re just very different, zoned out, and they stand out.
