When you speak slowly and with confidence you issue a certain aura that people take notice of. It is a worthwhile skill to learn. A badass doesn’t fill their silence with waffle and crap that no one cares to listen to. They speak with purpose, and when they speak people listen.
This is key to master both in conversation and in public speaking. It is a badass skill to stand in front of a large group of people and captivate them with your words.
Nervous Talk is Waffle And Hurried
When somebody lacks confidence in conversation or speaking they start to waffle. They are so nervous that they can’t gather their ideas into a concise fashion and deliver them in a way that can be easily understood.
They talk as fast as possible. They are so nervous that they have the floor that they want it to be over as fast as possible. So they rattle through what they have to say like a rabid monkey.
Relax And Dominate
A self-confident individual is not nervous when they speak. They do not fear what people think of him. They speak slowly, with purpose and maturity. They speak like what he says holds a great deal of weight.
When you talk like what you are saying is important then people will treat it as such. The sheer presence of the badass means their words hang thick in the air as people take them in.
Insecure people will talk all day long about themselves and their achievements. They need to validate themselves in the eyes of others. But no one really takes them seriously. So when they sense people don’t give a shit they turn up the story, hoping to impress.
A badass isn’t insecure. They don’t feel the need to talk themselves up. They dominate through actions, not words. They aren’t afraid of silence, so there is no need to fill it with awkward meaningless chatter.
There is a famous saying that you have two ears and one mouth, so you should listen twice as much as you talk. Badass men take this to heart, so when they do speak it is bloody important.
