Yes, but for me that often ends up in a hush and self-censorship. There are many thoughts and feelings I have that are not shared because I censor myself a lot. What I say, and what I don't say usually have a rational behind it and I'm not exactly known to be a very open person.

It's a difference from shyness, which I think can stem from anxiety or worrying about peoples reaction to what you are saying. For me, it's more calculated, more planned out, and a function of at times obscuring what I feel and what I want people to think.
