Silence is gold. But it's so hard to stop when you want to chat. Sometimes even the usual idle talk gives pleasure: when talking with friends, for example. But there are situations in which it is better to keep your mouth shut. But how do you get yourself to shut up?
Instructions
Step 1
Analyze one day in your life. What did you do? Was it just your work and various activities that was taking your time or something else? If you had time to talk with a friend (friend) on the phone for two hours, talk about life with colleagues for an hour, gossip about someone during the whole lunch break, and then discussed with someone for a couple of hours, for example, how to spend the weekend … This is the result disappointing - you just need to learn to remain silent. At least in order to do something useful.
Step 2
Take a closer look at those around you. Maybe you've been getting on their nerves for a long time. If you notice that when talking with relatives for a long time only you speak, then obviously something is wrong here. A person with whom you have a very close relationship may well be able to answer the question: "Am I talking too much?" Of course, he will try not to offend you, but the slightest hitch in the answer will tell you what the truth is. So the next time you feel the urge to chat, mentally pull yourself together and think about those who are having a hard time with you. Understand that sometimes an endless stream of words can scare off people you want to communicate with.
Step 3
When you are at home, you can put some water in your mouth. Then you will find out that the people around you can also give useful information and it can be interesting to listen to them. And then the silent person gives the impression of being smart. Think, you don't want to look like a stupid idle talk.
Step 4
Try to be tactful. For example, when someone is in trouble, chattering is completely inappropriate. Even expressing your opinion in such a situation may be superfluous. A well-mannered person who has a sense of tact always tries to speak to the point, clearly and clearly express his thoughts, not to indulge in lengthy discussions on general topics. And if you want to give vent to emotions, then choose the right time and place for this.
