Last two points are lies.
Using silence isn't always beneficial, I saw a lot of people being mistreated and taken advantage of due to their silence so I think more than consistently being silent, one should learn when it is better to keep silent and when it is time to be outspoken.
Yep. Sometimes it doesn't help
Agree with you dear ,my nature am silent person but many people take that opportunity to mistreat me but now l grow older am always silent but l fight my battles where necessary , now people afraid of mistreating me because when I get annoyed no one can pass Infront of me 😏

Very welll said and totally agree! Never wise to share too much, or dominate every conversation, but communication plays an important role in learning, growth, forming bonds, resolving conflict or just sharing ideas and expressing oneself. If silence solved everything, we'd all be mimes. Not sure that a silent version of this video would have the same impact on getting the point across to viewers.
Silence is not only about being quite. It's also about saying less about yourself. Be a mystery.

For those who are confused, you have to choose your moment when you need to be silent. You can't be silent all the time, and you can't be chirping away like a parrot either. Knowing where to do what is the key.

Very correct the moment is what matters most FRIEND

As a naturally quiet person I want to emphasize the importance of balance. Being quiet is great for listening and lessening regret but refusing to speak up also creates regret. Know when to speak and when to remain silent and utilize that knowledge to succeed.

My mom use to always tell me that because my Dad was so quiet he could hear everything around him. As I got older I became more quiet, in some scenarios and I definitely see the benefit as it’s made me become better discerning of people.
Thanks for sharing
The key thing he says in this is “you can use silence to APPEAR more powerful. Silence is a fear tactic and draws attention to yourself. Whether that’s negative or positive, you still draw attention when you don’t speak. A lot of people including myself never realized just how powerful it is. It can cause people to overthink. Especially your loved ones. So be careful who you choose to politely ignore. Lol.

FACTS!!!!!

Silence is a great tool when negotiating, I've learned that silence allows you to watch people better, and see their true intentions, once I realize a persons true intentions then I speak up, that way two scenarios will happen. First, they will feel that you have the upper hand and what they have to offer cannot compete. Second, you allow them to discredit you therefore allowing them to make the decision you already were aware of. Conclusion, make sure you are confident when negotiating, and that you can back up your claims with evidence. Take Care.

yes being silent u get to observe people around you. and its like a whole new different environment other than the literal environment itself

Exactly. Intro lyfe
I was a major talker in my past but now I'm placid and chilled out that I only speak when it's necessary I find that being silent mentally is powerful I like using it when the world is loud and I like using it when undesirable things happen which means undesirable things is becoming non existent.

I will make sure to follow these advices. I bought the 48 laws of power by Robert Greene and I'm currently reading it. I acknowledge that I possess a lot more information and skills than most people. And talking about many things can often make me look like a "know-it-all" or an "arrogant" person. And it doesn't benefit neither me, nor the people I talk to. As a wise man once said: "If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room". We should speak selectively, some ideas should not be shared with everyone (due to a variety of reasons). Instead we should remain silent until we find the right person to talk to about an idea or opinion. I must improve the way I communicate and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Overall, excellent video, it will certainly help many people.
Thanks you. You got this
I was shamed so many times for not being very talkative and now I find myself saying irrelevant crap just to fill the silence. I'm so excited to shut the hell up more often! It'll give me more time to think.

I have talked so much in my life and just now a few mins ago I was called annoying by my friends. I watched this video in hopes of seeing that I will gain more knowledge, so thank you sincerely for that.
Hope this video helps
Something I've noticed about being naturally quiet is that I can easily learn who actually wants to hear my thoughts on something. There are people who notice your silence and will ask you your opinion. I always like talking to those people, if sincere, because they have shown observation and interest in the real me.
Thanks for sharing
Yes, Thank You. You really gave me something to think about.
This
This is it right here
If sincere is the key phrase because some people want to know so bad the thoughts of a quiet or silent person that they will pretend to be sincere just to get the quiet or silent person to share their thoughts and more. Also, being silent is powerful because it causes those with evil intentions to feel guilty, to worry and feel insecure

@David K. Familiarity breeds contempt
How old are you ? It will be interesting to know at what age people are growing up
Currently having this problem, age 25 here. No matter if what I say is of benefit or is true, no matter my intentions to share and debate I tend to eventually rub people the wrong way
People take all kinds of liberties with me. They often say to me “you’re so quiet” when all I’m doing is sitting there minding my business. I wouldn’t dream of saying “you talk so much” to a person (just like they say “you’re so skinny” and I couldn’t imagine saying “you’re so fat” to anybody.) When you’re naturally observant and you simply quietly take life in, it’s really amazing the things people feel very free to say.
