joking aside, it doesn't matter whether you talk a lot (if it's at least somewhat coherent and substantial) or barely talk (unless it's so severe that it's very hard to communicate with you).
as you said - your appearance/vibe is the deciding factor. but being reserved most of the time is the way to go. people often overestimate my intelligence just because i'm calm and don't act like a hyperactive monkey.
lol at getting mind-blown every 2 minutes or constantly blabbering.

it's about balance between talking like a bot and talking too formally, to the point you sound off and driven by weird obsession with formalism
and no they don't, weird = weird. cage at that bluepilled delusion that smart people are all detached incoherent creeps

I'm not saying it's true but that is how a lot of people think
is a good emoji
