Sometimes I say nothing, or I say a lot, to avoid what I really want to say. Or what I really need to say. But I choose not to say.
Either way I’m saying nothing. To avoid saying something.

I am just venturing back into the world of reading blogs and yours just popped up. Serendipity? Connection? Who knows? But this silence, no matter how you meant it, is, for me a cool breeze.

I like, treasure, our connection. And I like the idea of a cool breeze being created here, and making it’s way over to you, and wishing you a soft hello from afar. 🙂 The next breeze you feel, consider it from me. ❤

yes too much is somethimes like nothing at all. But than there is the difference, that too much shows the emotional arousal. The need to share, even if you can not exactly position yourself, or too much is going on in your head. It shows the other an “openness”. You can call it stupidity because you can easily read the other´s face, but maybe it is actually a craving to let the other know your honesty. To let them know, that you care. If you say nothing you are without doubt the wiser man and better protected, but also the other could think you just do not care.

You’ve made me smile in thinking about this, Colleen. I’ve recently wondered if I could “contain myself” a bit more and say a whole lot less! I’m giving it a try. I’ll have to see how it works out, however. 🙂

I think the one thing I would like to work on is trying to stop filling the air with so much non-talk. YOu know, talking about anything and everything other than what I want to scream. 😉

Funny, this is something I’ve been pondering lately too. I find myself keeping my mouth shut when a younger, less wiser Betsy, like from last week, would totally be saying something. And when I made this revelation about just keeping quiet, I thought, wow, did I just get wiser? Next trick–to remember this new found knowledge!

What a poignant thought! I often find myself keeping quiet when I have words to share but don’t know how or am unsure about the reception, though the latter (talking just to fill silence) doesn’t apply to me as well, being a naturally quiet person. Balance is difficult to find…

I think ‘finding balance’ is a constant theme to my life. And thank you Abigail. 🙂 I prefer to be quiet but as soon as I am I am bombarded with “what’s wrong” in SO many forms.

So true! Too often silence is not regarded as the gold it can be.
LikeLike
hmm, yes that’s unfortunately so, that silence is not respected. I think it keeps the others insecure. They are thinking (which also makes sense and sometimes the sense of silence) and then they worry and maybe get scared. Persistent silence is the opposite of communication. And without communication, the best relationships will eventually come apart.

Well said Abigail.
