Why Is Speaking Out So Important?

Let us assume that a very crucial project is in the pipeline at your organization. And you are expecting that you would be offered a certain role—a role with much greater responsibility, visibility, and challenge than the current one—at a certain point in the project. But later, you discover that the role has been offered to someone else, leading you to disappointment.

After much thought, you decide to ask your manager about it, and you know it, then, that the other someone was handed over the role just because he showed enthusiasm to take the role and asked for it.

The main thing about the above example is, communication—speaking out or sharing inner voice—is an amazing medium that we need to utilize it for our benefit.

And if you lack in utilizing your communication skills; if you don’t speak up for yourself, someone else will do it and you will be left empty-handed. And this could happen once, then twice and then happen to such an extent that you will start disgracing yourself; self-doubts; stop developing characteristics of your own; and build a false image that you are worthless.

But when you speak up, you learn to analyze a situation or a thing. In that process of expressing yourself, you might not always be right, but at the end of it all, you can at least learn what's wrong and what’s right. That being said, you can, of course, correct yourself (for wrongs) and be in a better position than you were without saying anything at all.

Now, you might say—I lack confidence in expressing myself and feel nervous due to my inferiority complex.

Look, feelings such as hesitation and nervousness are basic to every human being. To overcome them, you should always keep in mind that these feelings are only temporary, and once you learn to fight it by improving your communication skill, you will glide as a hot knife in butter.

However, speaking up or improving your communication skill requires practice. It is not something that you will excel in a day or after having a good one-to-one conversation with someone. But that each one good conversation with either your friends, family members, or your colleagues will help you stand up for yourself, and do good for your confidence.

So the thing is everyone in this living world requires someone to speak so that they can share their life's highs, lows, and the process. 

A good friend is critical in life to talk about your ups and downs. However, not everyone can be kind enough to share your personal experience, but we still have to encourage ourselves to invest our space with someone to earn a trustful person.

And you don't need to only talk with your good friends. If you properly share kind words with your foes, that will eliminate the sour relation you shared with them, which ultimately means you find your friend back just because of good talk.

Talking/speaking out makes a real sense, and a good friend or your family member plays a role to back you when you are down. Talk to share your joy, sorrow, and knowledge.
