Screaming Silence

Most people are uncomfortable with silence.

After asking a difficult question or making an offer, the natural tendency is to help out when the other party is struggling. We feel the need to explain ourselves, or to start to back peddle. Almost anything feels better than awkward silence.

But if you can train yourself to stay quiet, you’ll be rewarded more often than not.

The other person feels the same nervous tension that you do, and they’ll be just as inclined to speak to fill the void.

Just give them space, and they’ll talk. Often to the tune of further valuable information or concessions.

  1. Hello !! My wife would like to more easily share your blog I’m Fave book but she says she can’t figure out how ? Do you have a hyper link or anything different from justvghis blog to easily forward ?

  2. Hey Bill, the easiest way is by pressing the blue “Share” button below my signature on each post. This should open a new window through Facebook, and from there she just needs to hit “Post to Facebook.”

    Otherwise, you can try clicking one of the buttons under “Share with your friends!” on the column to the right.

    Hope that helps!
