He enters the room.
He says little or nothing.
His smile seems fake — always.
I often wonder what he’s thinking.
He may just be a man of little words
Or simply a man who is slow to trust.
Either way, his silence is unsettling.

Perceived attraction?
By whom?

It may or may not be attraction, curiosity for sure, in the mind of the onlooker making guesses about the smiling man

I too share a similar line of reasoning. I like to observe quietly before I speak. I know how my brain works . I’m always curious if others thinks as I do. I also love to watch people as I try to interpret body language
