I might talk a lot, online or in person, but I try to keep my true ideas/thoughts private. Anything that happens in my life, that requires thought, I will think about over the course of a week. I do this so I can focus on what is in front of me, projects or work, instead of spending my valuable time moping about the future or past.
Here's a cut & paste of a stoic premise I agree with:
The Stoic Pagan
Standing on the side watching the Hedonists dance the night away are the Stoic Pagans. The Greek Philosopher Zeno developed a philosophy that demanded a high moral character. Ethics and a modern sense of chivalry guide the Stoics in their quest for truth and right. These are the folks that would never miss a Renaissance Festival even it was held in the midst of a raging storm. For the Ren Fest exemplifies a time of grandeur, heroism, and a sense of duty and honor that the Stoic craves. The Stoics tend to be a quiet and serious lot but they can be depended on for most anything. (Anything that does not go against their high principles, that is.) The Stoics live for that moment, however small, when they can save the day. They are the priestly knights who ride in on their mighty steeds. For this reason, they love to help others - especially through divination and healing. This is not to say that all Stoics are classic sourpusses. Deep inside they may have a strong sense of fun and frolic. It’s just that they wait for the proper time and occasion to let themselves be open in frivolous.

I prefer to be alone in my frivolity.
