When I was growing up, my family members were the only Teochew people I knew, and the only people I spoke Teochew to. For some reason I always assumed that everyone was introverted and soft spoken.

I now have Teochew neighbors who exist on a different volume, so I think it just means my entire family is introverted and autistic. Nothing to do with the language we speak.
