What makes a person mysterious?

[Anonymous]

I've been told many times that I'm mysterious, but I have no idea why. What makes a person mysterious?

I agree with @Madmegalomaniac.

I've been told by some people I'm mysterious or hard to read. They're usually people I first meet at work whom I then hang out with outside of work.

I have a very buttoned down sort of approach to people. I have a very careful, measured face I wear in public and at work. Often, I'm trying hard to be neutral - which does put some people off. They're used to people being honest with them, and I refuse to overshare.

But online, and to people I meet casually, I'm often much more animated, expressive, and forthwright.

It confuses some people.

Yeah. If you're hiding bits of your personality or interests, people get curious and consider you "mysterious" lol. It's up to you to decide if you prefer it that way or not.

You don't talk much. Do you?
