The Kind Of Person You Are

Your mouth says a lot about the kind of person you are. If you prefer speaking less, people will say that you are an introvert or you possess the qualities of a reticent/taciturn. Some may say that you are a wise/very sagacious person and you conserve your energy for more important issues. If you like shooting from the hip, people will say that you are a babbler. The way you speak and the words you say can have a lot of impact on people. They may talk to you again or they may not. In today's society, people prefer talking to those who keep their problems aside or to themselves and greet you with a smiley face. Nobody would listen to your problems if they don't like discussing theirs coz that will only make the situation worse. People go out of their homes to dump all their negativity and start afresh. Don't be a bin or perceive the other person as a bin. In simple words, don't let others dump their negativity on you and vice versa. What better it can get if we keep on discussing our problems? Instead, we should find solutions to them. People get attracted and like talking to those who keep a positive outlook on life.

 

To change your current attitude and become a positive person:

(i) You should avoid using negative phrases/words

(ii) Surround yourself with positive people and people who make you a little uncomfortable

(iii) Read motivational books/listen to motivational speakers

(iv) Avoid things like quarreling/prattling

How to figure out who's negative and who's positive?

Let me take an example to make you understand this:

Siddharth: How are you doing?

Prashant: As usual. Nothing better than yesterday or days before yesterday.

This indicates that the person is not in a very good mood or is a bit negative and is not doing anything to improve his situation. If you further ask him why he will start whining about his issues and dump all his negativity on you. Our body reacts according to the inputs it gets from the brain and the brain acts upon the inputs it gets from others. If you add good fuel to your brain, it will help the body in functioning properly. On the other hand, if you add bad fuel to your brain, it will not only distort the functioning of your brain but your body as well.

Let's look at another example:

Siddharth: How are you doing?

Prashant: I am on top of the world.

As soon as you hear such a reply your own body starts feeling the same way. Not only he is projecting a good image of himself, but he is also making me feel positive. You should talk to people who prefer saying "I am in good shape" to saying "I am in bad shape." We all have problems but we should not propagate them to others, especially not so often.
