Actually, say less

4 days agoEdited to

... Read moreIn everyday conversations, the phrase "say less" has become a popular way to express understanding without the need for lengthy explanations. From personal experience, using 'say less' can be a refreshing way to acknowledge someone's point immediately, creating a seamless flow of communication. For instance, when a friend starts to explain plans or feelings, responding with "say less" signals you are fully on board and there’s no need to elaborate further. This minimalistic approach to communication helps reduce misunderstandings and fosters trust, as people feel heard without the pressure of over-explaining. The OCR excerpt, "Hey babe, I was thinking we could go," implies the beginning of a suggestion or plan, which could be effectively received by responding with "say less" to indicate readiness and enthusiasm. In my experience, incorporating 'say less' in conversations, especially with close friends or partners, promotes a sense of mutual understanding and support. It encourages active listening while keeping interactions concise. However, it's important to read the context correctly—overusing this phrase in formal situations or with unfamiliar people may come off as dismissive. Overall, embracing 'say less' can be a powerful tool for clearer communication and stronger relationships, helping convey agreement and connection with just a few words.

how I lost 14 lbs by eating right, not less!
I eat more now than I did on the left — I had a bad relationship with food and I was lazy when it came to cooking. I used to be one of those girls that would count calories, eat “fat free”, wait until 4/5pm to have a bite of food… I would be so hungry I’d binge, understandably. I would feel so
