I Actually Mean What I Say

Experience has shown me most people don't mean what they say, not entirely or directly, or sometimes not at all. Whether this is intentional or not depends on the person and situation. Why does it all have to be so complicated? I choose my words carefully to express myself, not to mislead, confuse, placate, or harm others.

because perception and also because 80% of communication is non verbal

@unknownpoetx true each person brings unique perception and filters to communication, often hearing what has not been said. And some are more sensitive to nonverbals than others. I agree, but that's not exactly my point here, but a welcome addition to the conversation. It's been a while since I wrote this, but I think I was more concerned about precision of language and people that freely use deception

@HearTheRhythm not sure what you mean. I speak 6 languages, words don't mean the exact same in every one

@unknownpoetx interesting thought.

I don’t speak aloud very often but when I do I want my words to have impact.
