I realise that my voice is really soft. Is there something I can do about that?
Thinking back in time, I think the only time I can speak loud and clear is when I am really sure about the things that I am talking about. It is confidence that makes the difference. Then, where is my confidence in everyday conversation?
I am not a good conversationist. Conversation is an art. It is the art of listening and catching certain hints and clues then pushing the right buttons to keep the conversation alive and kicking. Being myself who seldom speaks even in gathering unless there are like a dozen of friends talking then I will add on to their topic but I can't start and maintain the topic without a talkative friend by my side. Am I afraid that I might say the wrong things or offend my friends? Maybe. Or maybe I am just very comfortable listening to people talking.
I am the type of person who enjoys his own quiet time at home. I am the type of person who prefers to step back into the background and just watch and observe people. I am the type of person who prefers to read and speak through this tiny window compared to the massive world out there. I am the type of person who can stare at a screen whole day long and not be bored.
Perhaps starting today that I should go out more, and meet with people more, so as to learn how to communicate well with people. I want to learn to converse, I want to learn to speak well and clear; too many times I have been told I talked like I mumbled. Remind me when I talk to turn up my volume!
