I guess, I will try not to talk and rather keep silent for now...

Good day Fellow Mylotters, Since I have encountered a lot of not so good situations before so I want to change some of my ways to be a better one. Like, if I used to talk before since I am the eldest sibling among the four, then, I would love to keep my silence now. Instead of doing the talking, I will just try to change and be more of a listener. Perhaps, this is to hear clearly what God wants to tell me. Another thing, if a question was raised up and addressed to me, then, I will just answer it with an specific answer. Its like answering a question with a precise answer. This is to convey a less error communication. I guess, I will just keep my silence for now and will try not to talk at the moment as I used to do before.

Sometimes ignoring them, or being silent is worse. My ex used to get more abusive and mad when I wouldnt talk to him.

Very true when you are silent some people get mad for being ignored.

@ mariaperalta, a friend of mine told me that there are two types of silence. according to what she have mentioned, keeping ones silence might bring an advantage or disadvantage to both.

I dont like to yell at anyone. So I stay quiet, and they still get mad. So I cant win..

I always try to listen to others and only talk if they seem to want my advise.

Hello, airasheila ! I know that you are in a difficult situation now. But maybe what you think of doing now is right. Maybe by keeping yourself less noticeable would make things different. But I do hope that would still be happy somehow.

I agree with you. Less talk, less mistake. Before we divulge and talk we should think first its consequences and how it affects our conversation with someone.Just like, every time we utter a word, we should treat it as a precious gold.

some time we do have to keep our mouth shut for the word we say may bring pain to others like a knife in the back this is something too that I have to work on as i will just open my mouth and say what ever comes off my lips

the tongue is mightier than the sword. this is a gift and we should use this wisely. if you feel that talking less will cause more harmony between you and your siblings, then you are right in your decision.

for now, that is the only way that i think its better. perhaps, i will just think of another way as i go along with my daily situation.
