    A reserved person may speak less in groups because they prefer to listen to what is being said, and who is saying it.
    When they have formulated a contribution to a discussion, its generally well thought out.
    Reserved people garner the respect of their peers and do not seek to offend intentionally.
    As opposed to an anti-social or [asocial] person, reserved people DO know how to talk to their peers and delight in interaction, although very brief.
    This is not to be conflated with socially awkward or [socially retarded], or even shy; all of which stem from social anxiety, but hold some form of connection to being reserved.
