I stole this from the ISTP thread.:tongue:
What comes more naturally for you, speaking your mind, or fliying under the radar.
For those of you who know me here know i speak my mind. Although in reality i modify what i say much more than i do here, yet still staying true to my thoughts. The consequences for my behavior is much different in reality, therefore i give myself the freedom to say what is " really on my mind " here
Yes i know there is a way to get a point across without hurting other people. Direct straight up communiction can appear harsh and cold, so in these times, communcation can be taken out of context. Personally if i'm speaking in a direct tone i don't like to sugar coat my thoughts.
I've also been in situations that i didn't express my thoughts, in the bigger picture it has come back to bite me in the ass, so therefore i believe if its on my mind, say it. I do know people who don't express what they really think about issues. What ends up happening is people walk all over them and don't take them seriously. Also if people are too agreeable it makes them appear fake and insincere. Having your own voice is attractive, and if you have to be heard by standing alone, that's o.k too.
What about you ?
EDIT : Just so people don't get the wrong impression , i wasn't speaking in terms of confrontation. I don't want you to confuse having your own voice with picking battles. Speaking you mind so you can be heard, and not afraid to share you opinion with others, even if you know that not everyone will agree. I should have made that clear in my post. Having your own voice in my opinion is being able to think for yourself without fear of the outcome. And from my experience this is done in a positive way, not negative
