We live in a time when practically everyone has the space to speak, as social networks allow many people to express themselves.

Undoubtedly, technology has improved communications and if we're not careful, we'll spend all day listening to "other people's voices".

You're probably wondering what the harm is.

Simple, human beings have an acute level of assimilation and if they spend too much time in the expressions of others, they can lose their own and influence themselves quickly.

However, listening to and observing others goes beyond this influential effect, because there is another behavior that we must control in our lives: speech.

Have you ever stopped to think if you hear the same things you say every day? Are you being a very boring person? for only wanting to express yourself and not pay attention to the next ones?

Well, let's think about it a little more and find out what harm it can do to our lives.

The need to talk

Oral language is essential for our survival, since through it we can meet our basic and supplementary needs.

But this expression is not only effective for our subsistence, can also be therapeutic when we let off steam and release all the weight of our thoughts.

This is normal, as life is not easy and we constantly learn to deal with the challenges that arise. But there are some people who talk more than they listen, and in a long-term relationship, this can strain relationships and bring conflicts.

This is just one example, but if you stop to notice, a person who talks too much can tire out not only their spouse, but also their children, friends and even work colleagues.

Why do some people talk more and listen less?

Well, it goes beyond what we imagine. It can all start in a person's upbringing, if they're used to being listened to and being the center of attention from a young age, it could be to grow with this need.

Another issue that is related to the behavior of talking more than listening is people's extroverted profile, which can be defined according to their background and experience.

In the case of children who are extroverted but don't have the space to expose themselves in the family, they also grow up with a lack of exposure, which leads to need greater and complete dedication as adults.

As well as communicative people, there is the profile of more introverted people, who don't mind bringing out everything they're really going through.

These can be interesting companies for those who love to be heard, because the behavioral difference balances the relationship.

Listening to others as well as yourself

It's very annoying to be interpreted as a "loudmouth", selfish, individualistic and self-centered, but if you have a habit of talking too much, try to control it for the sake of yourself and those around you.

A empathy helps us to balance this speech process.

If you're in a relationship where this is happening, be aware that one of your voices may be getting louder than the other.

And to keep this information with you, remember that every person has the need to express himselfIt's not just our inner voice that wants to come out.
