As I get older I find myself talking more and needing to be understood. When I was younger I kept everything inside and avoided arguments or the need to express myself until I am understood.
Lately, I find that the more I try to talk and share my viewpoint the more I feel as if I will never be truly understood or that no one actually cares what I really think.
People seem so caught up in proving themselves right or ensuring that we believe what they believe that they close the doors to other opinions and understanding those who are not the same as them.
So the more I open up, the more I think I should just shut up. At the end of the day all people really want from me is to agree with them and not disagree… Life would probably be more peaceful if we all just listened and learned when to be quiet. I am slowly learning this truth….
