As someone who didn't recognize this when I was very young, I can testify it is 100% incredibly attractive to me to witness a silent person - who is intentionally observant and careful with what they say. It's not by accident I married someone exactly who wore this trait; I've had to learn to silence my mouth/mind -- learning the power it does to calm me and not get drawn into conversations that were way too emotional and that I allowed to affect me personally.

In those instances - whatever I said may have been pointless and surely had zero influence on my listener...😏😞😔

LOVED your article, Leonard! Excellent and very wise advice...thanks for sharing!
