“Quiet Integrity”
“You’ve got a really strong will from what I can tell, and you have a quiet integrity about you.”
This is what someone told me. I felt like I understood a bit of what she meant, and the words “quiet integrity” stuck out in my mind. I felt like I had an idea of its meaning, but it was more of a hazy collection of connotations than an actual meaning. So I dug deeper.
Quiet integrity.
Quiet => soft-spoken.
Integrity => soundness of morals/character.
So this suggests that my friend believes that I have a soft-spoken moral soundness. I dig it.
I may not have to be the loudest or most decisive person in the room, but I feel like I am usually one who makes sure to put things in perspective and think deeply.
Usually.

That’s such a great compliment to receive. Integrity is something many people are lacking. I take quiet integrity as being open & having a quiet humbleness about you most people don’t have. Not being showy about having integrity. Eh, that probably doesn’t make sense. Still I’m glad to know someone w/ quiet integrity.
hahaa, i have to agree with your friend. you seem that way to me as well.
that’s quite a compliment. one of my closest friends is like that and i consider him on the short list of people i would consult with if i ever had a problem that was beyond my scope of solving.
I think that’s a good compliment, it means that you aren’t overly loud or boastful but that you have honor and truth about you. Not many can say that nowadays.
well, I’d have to agree with them. :]

Hmm… I get what you mean. I never really noticed/realized that it was possible to brag about integrity, but you make great sense here. In this case, you have quite the quiet integrity yourself, missy.

Aw, thanks.

Of course, problems beyond your scope of solving are few and far between!

Hm. That seems to be the general consensus of those who have feelings about this as well. I think y’all/we’re right! <3 I’ll do my best to earn everyone’s respect.
