Cheers to this truth!!! Decades later, your story brings me back to high school. My high school teacher blurted out loud to the entire class. "I thought you were in a coma all year long." He was beyond shocked that I had scored the highest mark ever and in that class. My response was that just because I wasn't talking didn't mean I wasn't listening. I'm happy that you are speaking out, because it's grounded in your True Self.
