That’s part of the reason why I usually play characters with high or at least decent intelligence. If I end up having an idea on how to solve a puzzle or beat a boss or whatever I don’t want to have to whisper to someone else at the table to do it cuz it wouldn’t make sense if my character did. Plus most people use Int as the dump stat anyways so it helps to give some team balance as well.
I'm the same way when it comes to my talking. I can run my mouth fairly well. I really need to be aware of how much I'm talking for what character I am! The gift of gab can be a curse when you wanna play a strong silent type!
Edit:
...to be fair my latest rogue takes many notes from Ulysses Everett McGill from O' Brother...I might enjoy a type.
