Choosing battles

 Choosing battles

When to say something, and when to shut up. It is a decision we are constantly making. We must weigh out the benefits of both. The decision between the two is never clear. It can never be clear. Every decision on what to say and when is completely relative. Each decision will trigger a different response. As we mature, we must realize the importance of verbalization or non verbalization in every situation.

When do you speak up? When is it necessary to say something? It is dependent on the situation. Each situation calls for a different response. The more times you have lived through a similar situation, the more experience you will have with how to handle it. Learn from the mistakes you make and learn how they could go over better.

It is also important to observe others. Watching how people interact and approach each situation gives insight on how certain people may react. Each person is different, but by observing interpersonal situations more often, you begin to realize that there are types of people. Most people fall into a category. A category makes their response and their reaction almost predictable. The more you observe the more you are able to read and react accordingly. 

Emotional awareness and choosing when to speak come from observing and analyzing people. By analyzing every single situation, you are able to effectively choose when to speak and when to not. Some conversations are not meant to be had. Some things should not be said. They just aren’t worth it.
