My dear Hivers, it is always a pleasure to greet you and wish you a wonderful start to December, filled with countless blessings.
For challenge 285, I have selected:
Awkward silence or talking too much. Do you do one or the other, or do you know someone who does? Tell us about it.
Depending on the case, I choose one or the other, since both can be used to turn an uncomfortable situation into one where we are in control. Knowing yourself allows you to maintain that versatility. For example, if we are meeting someone and we notice that the other person has little initiative to converse, but is attentive to what we are talking about, that is where we can take the initiative to speak.
In my opinion, too much silence lends itself to many things, confirming infinite situations, whether positive or negative. These are people who do not like to express their feelings or simply do not feel comfortable with their surroundings, since everything is essence and, as my mother says, you are not with everyone; that attraction is astral. They are usually closed-minded people, so they suffer a lot and are mostly not very empathetic. So much silence produces boredom and a certain degree of self-consciousness when chatting because you do not know what they will come up with. They have a certain wall that prevents harmony in any area, but they are cautious, jealous, loyal, and careful.
The other side of the coin is talking too much, which can be counterproductive. At first glance, they tend to be pleasant people in all areas, being the centre of attention because they are, as they say in my region, ‘flamboyant talkers’. They are great entrepreneurs, especially in sales, and are suspicious and very flirtatious in both genders, so you have to be careful when interacting with them and take things slowly. They hold the key to communication and, at the same time, destruction. Those who talk a lot do little.
But we are clear that breaking the ice in a conversation allows us to feel comfortable sharing ideas and having a pleasant rapport where the hours fly by, and that is worth its weight in gold if you know how to do it without being impertinent or simply intrusive.
Therefore, as the years go by, we learn that the cards in this deck play together, neither too quiet nor too talkative, the balance of knowing how to behave and with whom makes all the difference.

Greetings and blessings.
Do you ever find that you run into someone who makes you want to talk or want to be silent? I sometimes do. I get a really nice vibe or a bad vibe and depending on which I decide to talk more or less.
