Saying Less to Mean More

I’ve never been much of a talker myself, being pretty high up on the scale of introversion, but I used to mistakenly believe that big talkers got ahead in life and so I sold myself short for years because I wasn’t enough to get ahead, even in daily conversation with friends.

For all of my fellow introverts out there, you may be relieved to know that according to Robert Greene, author of The art of Seduction, you’re actually at an advantage. Saying more than you need to can send other people the message that you’re trying to prove yourself and can make you look weak in front of others. Saying less adds an air of mystery around you, and people are more likely to think that you know a lot more than you’re letting on to. 😊

She was stubborn and would remind him vehemently that he was a man from another time, that he needed to remember she had the vote, or in other words, he had no right to impose any will on her in any way, shape, or form.

What she didn’t know, was that the master was always the slave. Yes, he would be her man. He’d bend her body and her heart, her pride to his. And he did. Subtly. But all the while she was his goddess; Hathor, the Egyptian goddess of love.

He belonged to her.

Because what good was a man with nothing to worship but himself?

  3. […] There are many in the Northwest of Trinidad who seem to be above common courtesy and ‘living good with people’. Other parts of Trinidad are better, but increasingly imperfect in this regard. I have found it enriching, despite the fact that in general I don’t like people. They’re peopley, and I’m an introvert that appreciates silences. […]
