Silence Doesn't Signify Weakness

in #philosophy7 years ago

I think one of the biggest mistakes people make is thinking that the quiet person is a weaker person. Which is totally wrong. Silence is one of the biggest misconceptions of weakness

The "Fat guy" or "Tall guy" misconception.

One of the things that people make misconceptions about is that "fat" or "tall" guys are strong and nobody wants to mess with them, when in reality, their strength is all an illusion. I am personally smaller than a lot of those "fat" or "tall" people, yet I am still stronger than them. It is all an illusion, kind of like how quiet person who keeps to themselves is labeled as weak, as a loud and vocally expressed person is more powerful. But it is the silent person that is the smarter one. They observe their surroundings and since they are typically quieter, they have more time to think to themselves and they are typically the smarter ones you don't want to mess with.

The loud ones are all bark no bite

All of those loud people who find it necessary to always voice themselves because they are insecure are all bark and no bite. They give an illusion of power to patch their true weakness. So they are what you would call a "fake".

Silence is power

Never mistake silence for weakness. Ever. You don't know what the person next to you is thinking. Never underestimate. The most power can come from the most unexpected places, remember that. Expect the unexpected.

Im myself also a silent person and on top of that very short.... when people see me, they think im arrogant, spoilt and just not really smart....some people really say that. i actually always worked hard to buy myself anything i want, dont hv rich parents and studied hard. And im actually not arrogant at all, i never look down to people who have less than me. its a pity that people can judge or make conclusions others by just simply looking at you or how you are dressed..... "oh you are wearing make up and love fashion?" You must be stupid. Its sad, but it says more about that person than me.

I like that, especially knowing from experience, how true it is. I have had many people in my life that have asked why I am so quiet. My usual response is "nothing is wrong, I'm just thinking". Then other times I tell them "it's the quiet ones ya gotta watch for". We tend to hold things in (sometimes for too long) and rarely talk about personal things. It took me many years to speak up sooner when time was necessary. People are too critical of others. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Silence is golden. Quick fix for those who won't shut up is silver.

lol rope is also an option

ha ha ha ! :-D

that's right. i can relate to the short person theory. i am shorter than all of my friend, and i am way too faster than them. Being fast is a strength, right?

being fast is a strength

This is true....those who have strength dont need to talk about their accomplishments or make threats. Silence is power.
