Summary

This quote suggests that shy and unprepared individuals have a tendency to betray secrets because they struggle to find something to talk about in the moment. When there is an urgent need to engage in conversation, those who lack confidence often feel compelled to share information that should remain private. As a result, they become inadvertently careless and reveal secrets that they should have kept confidential. The quote highlights how the pressure to have something to say can lead to the indiscretion of sensitive information by those who are shy or ill-prepared.
