Why do some people barely say a word, yet still command respect?

Why do some people barely say a word, yet still command respect? 1.when you smile, don't reveal everything. A subtle, closed-mouth smile makes you appear calmer and harder to read. 2.stop telling everyone about your plans. Move quietly and let your results speak for themselves. 3.when you're in public, put down your phone and pick up a book. Focused people naturally stand out. 4.you don't always need to respond with words. Sometimes, a calm nod carries more weight than saying "yes." 5.don't make yourself available to everyone at all times. People who protect their time are less likely to be taken for granted. 6.don't reveal too much about yourself too quickly. The less you reveal, the harder you are to figure out.
