I’ve come to the conclusion that some people speak just to hear themselves. Rather than speak words that have meaning they just speak random nonsense just be heard by others. When in actuality they aren’t really saying anything. Does this make sense?

Let me explain. Usually when people speak they are trying to get a point across. I mean that is the point of communication right? You have something of worth to say so you say it. There are some who however just go on and on about random nothing-ness (is that even a word? LOL). Also there are those who speak with the purpose of getting attention but all the while what they are saying is pointless and has no meaning. Kind of like an empty promise. The latter of the two is mostly what I’m focusing on in this blog entry.

Now I’m sure all of us, well lets be honest, MOST of us think before we say something. The reason for this is so we don’t get caught out there saying something we regret later on. Also when you run your mouth so much your credibility tends to decrease greatly. I’m sure we all know of a person(s) who talks a good game about that they tend to do or what they are going to do, but they never get around to doing so. Or as I like to say “tomorrow never comes” for them. Sometimes the craziest thing happens. All of a sudden, out of the blue they really have something worth saying. I mean like this is it! The great idea or bit of news that they need to share. Now what do you think happens next? I think we all know the answer to this one. It’s kind of like the story of the boy who cried wolf. After a while no one cares, they’re still “just talking”.

Now no one listens attentively or takes them seriously at least. They get mad, they get upset. Why even bother? Honestly they should’ve seen it coming to begin with. No one will take them seriously for the simple fact that pretty much everything they say is for lack of a better word bulls*t.

So if you are one of these people I’m speaking about maybe you should try speaking less and being more genuine. You know “Mean what you say”. Words are very powerful and valuable, but they lose their worth and meaning when they are not treated as such. If you are going around spewing out nonsense constantly, that says a lot about who you are. If you don’t take yourself seriously, why would someone else? Not unless you’re in a situation where you’re so into the emptiness you speak that you begin to believe it yourself…..but that’s a whole other topic in itself. I’ll touch on that next time.
