Yeah. I've done the same thing in relationships with people too. Several people have commented that when they first got to know me I was very quiet. From my point of view, the conversation was fine, all I was doing was not interrupting them in order to talk about what I wanted to talk about. But from their point of view, I wasn't really contributing much. All because my threshold for "how much silence before it's normal to introduce a radically new topic of conversation" was 2s, and theirs was 0.2s.
