Intentionally silent
Being more aware of my thoughts and less active in my speech, is something new for me this current year. The interesting thing is that I have noticed that this is new for the people around me as well.
Surprisingly, to be more “aggressive” and outgoing is more acceptable. Alternatively, being more quiet and reserved makes you weird. I can talk and talk without gaining anything, learning nothing and not making any true connection with anyone.
So the question is, are you able to listen? In the past, I wasn’t for sure, but I’ve improved and still working on it. Believe me, it’s very difficult. So many opinions and so many reasons to argue. But why argue anyway? Why try to tell what’s wrong or right?
If I want to argue with someone, I’ll do it with myself. It surely brings better results.
