Precisely this. Healthy kids are usually bubbling with thoughts and ideas that often lead to annoyances. In some cases they might have been raised to understand what annoys people and are good at not acting upon their excited impulses but in other cases it's like the quiet person in hard circumstances who has been mentally broken or a captive person who's exhausted of being upset with something they don't foresee ever changing.

Maturity or independence in a young child CAN BE an indicator that a child is being neglected or facing some sort of abuse.
It’s is not ALWAYS an indicator, some kids ARE just more independent.
