We all respond this way. Even brash people don't enjoy being pinned to the wall to discuss ancient Irish whalebone knitting practices for 2 hours. Well, not usually ;-)
But if we keep our obnoxious 'wisdom' to ourselves and interact with people the way they wish to be interacted with; namely to genuinely listen to them, and to genuinely answer them within their own framework; and in fact don't go around thinking that they actually need 'our wisdom',
then one might be delighted and surprised, to find one of these shy creatures suddenly in our presence; nibbling upon goodies which the Universe placed in our hands; hands now open and not threatening: no longer clenched into zealot's fist."
