She sits alone and she does not usually talk to others.
There are some people who like to talk and some who do not. I do not belong to any of them, although I am adjusted to listening people talking. No matter I like or not, they talk. Some of them talk loudly, even quarrel, some of them just whisper, some of them might also be listening to others but at some point everybody has their own say.
