Speak Less But Effectively
When you speak less, you allow others to fill in the gaps, often revealing more about themselves than they might have otherwise. People tend to be uncomfortable with silence, and they will rush to fill it. In doing so, they may expose their thoughts, emotions, or even insecurities. The less you say, the less room there is for you to be misunderstood or have your words twisted. When you do speak, your words carry more weight and significance. This sense of mystery can work in your favor, allowing you to appear more confident and in control.
