Sometimes putting my thoughts into writing helps me to vent. I am someone who likes to bask in my thoughts, taking time to actually "think more" and express less. The reason why I think to "talk less" is because I like to chose my words carefully, i'm always of the opinion that things, a sentence, a phrase or a word needs to be said rightly if it was going to actually convey the content of the mind.

I'm someone that likes to be equally expressive of my thoughts through my speeches and I rather prefer to be silent than to illy express myself. This is because i am very Imaginative and when I cannot find the right emotion or word to express the content of my mind, I feel that no one will make enough meaning or exact feel what i'm feeling or actually getting the picture I try so hard to paint.

I am emotionally logical; this means that i am of the opinion that the content of the heart expressed rightly will help to sell one's ideas better in a process of communication. I believe I have the power to to convince and most times when I try to convince people logically and I fail, I try the other approach of reaching for their emotional side, tapping into their soft spots subtly and buying them over.

Nevertheless it takes skills to emotionally reach people especially being able to appeal to their sentimental nature; especially understanding them to the barest minimum. When you understand people, you can maniplulate them because you know their strength and weakness, their flaws or even their frailties nevertheless when you understand people, you can use it as a tool to influence them positively for a good cause as well.

This is Why I feel speeches done rightly is the only way. Sometimes facial expression sells what even words cannot. We humans can be empathic, an ordinary gesture can take away all our anger and animosity and soften our resolve. Nevertheless, there are people we cannot reach either emotionally or logically. These are people I try so hard to avoid in my life.

People who do not have a sense of endearment or sympathy or even have a sense or responsibility to human feelings. This is what I often look out for in a relationship. I believe our pain or pleadings should be able to convince people to see our reasons and beckon to our pleas especially if it's difficult for them. People should be able to change their resolve because of their compassion towards the plight of Someone else especially if this person is close to them

It hurts If I cannot reach people, touch their heart or even get them to feel what I'm feeling at least with how I've painted a picture to them. I feel like I have failed, this is why I try to talk less because I feel I can't say it the way it reverberates in my mind. This isn't inferiority complex. As humans we understand our selling point and this often becomes a tool in getting what we want.

Most women have the power to sell a sales copy more than a man could, not because they'll say things differently but because a woman naturally has these advantage. But as a man, I find it difficult to say things in my head, especially if it's a matter of importance or urgency. I do not know how to say things that can easily penetrate people and have them crying, I discover that I can reach who wants to be reached, I love having time to buy people but I'm not someone who can do this in a moment or a short time.

This is why I easily give up on people who are adamant to soften to my whims. This is because sometimes people by default turn off their filters, they close their heart to human sentiments and makes it difficult for you to reach them. Sometimes struggling to hard to change these kind of people can make one blind to the fact that some people are beyond saving as only them can pull themselves out of that abyss.

At the end of the day, we win some, we lose some. Sometimes our inability to get people to do what we want isn't our fault, the guilt of feeling we have failed often makes it difficult for us to take on new challenges. Nevertheless this doesn't mean we shouldn't worker harder to convey our thoughts in a more imaginative and convincing way as this always is the essence to fruitful Communication.

Hello @josediccus

From this, "speaking less, is because I like to choose my words carefully, I am always of the opinion that things, a sentence, a phrase or a word must be said correctly if you really want to convey the content of your mind", not necessarily speaking less means looking for the right words, it may at times the right words may also not express in certain circumstances, so it is better to first determine in context before expressing any correct thoughts.

Best regards, be well.

In my own assertions I speak less so as to choose the bests things to say, it might actually be different for someone else.
