Make your personality louder.

In our housing society there are only 6 flats. So it is very small housing society. We held regular meetings for discussing problems and suggestions regarding the problems. One of our society member is very aggressive and arrogant and always talks in loud voice. He thinks that he knows everything. But everyone neglects his suggestions. I think we shouldn't make our voice loud to make others listen, but it is better to make our personality louder so that other wait to listen us. What do you think?

Yes, only when we do or say something reasonable, people will respect us. However, if we just pay attention to what we feel and ignore others, our ideas can hardly be accept because people may think they are ridiculous. If we dare to speak out our ideas, that does mean we are confident. But if we think we are omniscient, we are completely wrong, and people will also regard us as an arrogant and ridiculous persons and ignore us thoroughly.

Hi, You are right. We should act or do something reasonable. If we behave arrogantly or rudely then everyone tries to avoid us. So we should be polite and soft with others. Thank you for the response.

Indeed, I find many peolpe who think they are omniscient in my class, and it is really very hard to get along with them. Sometimes, I express my own opinion with them when we are discussing, but they will ignore my ideas completely. It really makes me angry, and now, I do not want to talk to them anyway.

i dont know why some people feel the need to get angry and shout to get their point across, all these people do is upset other people and if the they think that there right its worse. If you want a proper dicussion it should be civilised and friendly.

That's a good point you have made about respect, because respect is earned if people think they can earn respect through shouting load they can't

Hi, You are right. If you want a proper discussion it should be civilized and friendly. Some people feel that their loud voice makes other people keep quiet and they don't oppose them. But it is not true. People don't like to listen such people suggestions. Such people don't get respect from others. Thank you for the response.

I do believe that if we use a loud tone of voice all the time and we act like we know all that there is to know about everything then people will have a tendency to not really listen to what we have to say. With that said, I do think that the best thing that we can do is to try to make sure that we use a softer tone of voice and use more positive body language and then people will listen to us more than they would have listened to us otherwise. I don't think the size of our personality so much matters, I think that it really has to do with the way that we say things.

The member you have mentioned here seems to be aggressive.I have also encountered such persons several times and my experience says that nobody listens to them.People dislike such behavior.We all like polite and soft speaking persons who don't tend to force us to accept their suggestions and toe their line.People who speak loud try to dominate others,but nobody wants to be dominated.

Hi friend, you are right, if we are living in an apartment we don't disturb other persons with our activities. We must keep quite and do our talking activities without disturbing other persons, sad to hear about that noisy person. Hope he will change his activity soon

Some people are loud because they don't hear very well. Others are loud because they were raised in a boisterous family. The important thing is not to judge people by the sound of their voice, but by the content of what they say.

Very true. In order for one to listen, you need to explain yourself in a way acceptable and not imposed.

That's true roshigo. Sometimes when a person is outwardly arrogant and so vocal, people wouldn't want to listen to him anymore. So, sometimes we have to tone down our personality so that people will be interested to listen to what we have to say. Let's be considerate of others too, not always Me, I, Myself.

Hi, You are right. We should be considerate of others also. We should listen others ideas and views. We should not be boastful and selfish. We should understand others feelings also. Thank you for the response.

I agree with you. Most of us don't like this kind of person. The sad thing is that they don't know that there are people who don't like them. They continue acting arrogantly.

Making your personality louder does not solve anything. Make your personality likeable, warm and not stand-offish. People soon recognize the person in charge if you are diplomatic rather than bombastic. Listen without interrupting the person, give information that can help the majority. Never shout back; it makes you one of them.
