A Thousand Words for a Few. How do you say good morning, how are and where are you heading to at the same time without allowing the other person to respond? Are you fond of making others incapable of freely talking to you because you do not give them a little chance to contribute even in the smallest conversations? You may think you are doing great by always choosing to trade a thousand words in place of a few at all times even in your relationship. This is one of the biggest ****turnoffs**** people get in a relationship and when they try to point you in the right direction by telling how your constant trading of a few words to a thousand makes them feel, you misunderstand them. A man who decides to always talk and complain about every little thing will certainly make his words less important even when he is talking about something very important. Naturally, women are wired in such a way that talking seems a better part of them but the worst mistake any man will do is to make them feel like they are talkative. It does not matter what the information or discussion is all about, you have to try as much as possible to learn how to say a few words and not compound it all with a thousand words which will end up not making any meaning. ****John traded a thousand words instead****
Just like it is very natural for women to talk a lot, it also becomes very unnatural when a man becomes talkative. This is the sad and pitiful story of John. It all started just like a normal thing after he got married to Lisa. She never thought it would get to the level of irritating her because she felt it was just him being a funny and sweet husband. After the first and second years of their marriage, she began to notice that John would always spend so much time talking about even the smallest of things and the worst of it all is that he does not allow her to say a thing. He will always interject each time she wants to say something but she seldom does that to John. It got to a point when their morning pleasantries began to move rapidly from an exchange of good morning to one complaint or the other and these complaints were always coming from John. Lisa tried so much to let him know that a thousand words he is saying trading in place of a few have gradually become a problem. She tried to let him know that it is gradually becoming a turnoff making it hard for her to feel any form of romance for him. In all her effort to make him see the need to stop, he never listened. One fateful day John came home and started to complain as usual but this time around he started right from the car as she came out to welcome him. Whatever must have caused him to be complaining as he got home was entirely unknown to Lisa who was out there trying to play the role of a sweet and caring wife. As soon he alighted from his car he began to ask Lisa why she missed his call earlier. As Lisa tried to explain to him why she was not able to take the call, he could not allow her to finish up just like his normal way of saying so many words in place of a few. This got her irritated and she left him and walked inside and that made the matter worse because he began to complain that Lisa now walks out on him. John got into the house and kept on talking while Lisa could be seen sitting on the couch hoping and praying that he would stop and listen to her but, all her prayers went unanswered. This pissed her off the more and she rushed to the table, took her car keys and dashed out of the house. John rushed after her in other to know what and where she is going to but before he could get to her, she has already driven off. Instead of John asking himself what must have triggered Lisa to run out of the house for the first time since two years of their marriage, he continued to complain as he called Lisa’s mum. Long story short, he received divorce paperwork which was filled by Lisa who was nowhere to be found after one whole month. Lisa could not continue because since she left the house John has been busy calling her mum, siblings and even friends complaining to them instead of trying to look for her or even find out if they know where she was. Lisa got married to another man just after four months of leaving John who was still living in his world of trading a thousand words in place of a few words. As a man you may have noticed that your woman is no longer talking to you, do not take it for granted or think that all is well. The first thing you should do is to find out if you have been in the business of trading a thousand words in place of a few. If you find out that you are in such a business, don’t allow your ego to spoil everything for you rather go to her and make her understand that you are sorry for your behaviour. It should not end in saying sorry you should make her understand that you are very much ready to visit a therapist in other to get better. Trading a thousand words in place of a few has destroyed a lot of relationships today and most men are still not aware of this great danger. Be the man and let your word be heard as at when due. Allow the woman to enjoy her euphoria of a million words if she chooses to do so because that is her natural attribute. ***“Why say a thousand words over nothing when you can say nothing”*****… Davinchysax.**

I have already come across this type of people, the worst thing is that they have the absolute truth. They are always talking to themselves
Exactly, they are never wrong at all times. Good to hear from you.
Thank you, I had some problems, but it is being resolved.
