How We Talk To Others Says More About Us Than We Realise
As humans, we love to communicate with one another. Once we have learnt how to talk, there is no stopping us from having conversations.
Some of us like to talk more than others, but we all communicate in one way or another. While we may not think about how we talk to each other, what we say when we do reveals a lot about our character.
Whether we choose to be nice to someone or not, the words we use when we speak to other people say more than we realise.
It can be hard to keep your feelings in check when talking to someone you don’t like, but the ability to keep your thoughts in check is difficult. There are times when we would love nothing more than to let these people know what we truly think of them.
While it may seem like a good idea in our mind’s eye, the reality is almost always different from reality. Sometimes, the best policy is to maintain dignity, even when every fibre in our being is raging against it.
In moments like these, it’s important to remember this quote: “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all?”
In a world where communication with each other is paramount and under increasing scrutiny, the words that come out of our mouths often reveal more than we realise or would like to know!
