Signs You May be Boring Others

Signs You May be Boring Others
By Muniza Imran

Everyone likes to ramble on and on about their day or even worse, life! Well you may find a really good listener but most people will just be trying to escape. No one likes a complaining granny. So if you want to ramble—if it makes you feel any better, do it alone in an empty room or in front of a mirror in your bathroom. Don't bore the poor innocent human nature!
Some people just can't tell when they start to ramble and they go on and on without realizing it! That can be an inescapable trap for the communication partner. You don't want anyone to feel that way about you, do you? Certainly not me.
So there are some signs that show your listener is getting bored. You should seriously consider these signs and look for them during a rapport with your communicator.
1. SHIFTING WEIGHT:
Notice that a bored listener will start to shift his weight and will also lean on nearby objects such as a chair or a counter. The reason they do this is because your conversation is turning into a boring professor's lecture which is making them tired.


2. DIVERSION OF ATTENTION:
A bored listener will most likely be looking anywhere but in your eyes ( it is contrary to manners not looking at someone in the eye during a conversation). In fact, they'll be looking around for some rescuers to save them from your nonstop chattering.
3. CHECKING TIME FREQUENTLY:
Most of you must know this one. Who doesn't look constantly at the clock during lectures at school? Why do you do this? Because you're bored and you check the time to see when the bell will ring. However, during a conversation with a family member or a colleague, there are no bells to rescue. They only check the time to see how much time is being wasted or how much they're getting late or maybe even secretly trying to hint you that you are the blocker of their precious time.
ALWAYS AGREEING:
Ever had a conversation where you felt that your communication partner was just agreeing with you too much? Always nodding and saying "right" or "yeah" or sometimes even mistakenly agreeing upon things where they were supposed to say "no". Well, chances are, you may be boring others by rambling on and on and not giving a chance for others to speak. Now here's a tip: let others speak too during a conversation. Maintain equality in speaking.
4. WALK AWAY-ERS:
Some people may just say, "excuse me, but I've got to go" or "I'm really sorry but I have a meeting to attend" or "hate to interrupt you, but I have to help her.." and walk away. These statements just prove that you are rambling. Embarrassing, eh?

7 signs of un-chill people

7 signs of un-chill people By Muniza Imran Do you see people around you that are having fun and are totally chill? You think that they are free of all problems? Do you think that they don't have any workload? No pressure of life whatsoever? Well, you're definitely wrong, because everyone got problems in life. The difference between you and chill people is that they keep their problems private or hidden. In other words, they keep their matters to themselves. You WILL be confronted with problems but it doesn't mean that you go in a panic mode. Just take a deep breath, calm down and accept the problem as a challenge from life. So there are 7 signs of un-chill people. Check out if you're one of them ;) Number one; they always talk about work. Number two; they are not confident. Number three; they kill themselves by working all day and all night and use up all their energy. Number four; they miss the good things of life are totally not fun. Number fi...

The Benefits of Struggling

As we grow older, we consider getting popular in school rather than focussing on studies. Nerds become the joke of the school and all those who misbehave get all the attention and fame by other students. Smoking and drinking is considered “cool” and students brag about it in school just to show that they are rich and old enough to do all those things and consider it as a source of fame. Being old means maturing. If these kids are going to smoke and drink and then brag about it or post pictures on social media, then this sort of behaviour does not show maturity. The saddest thing is that either the parents are unaware of these things due to lack of knowledge or are encouraging their kids to do so, feeling as if the kids are mature enough (when they are not) or are either saying that they have no control over their kids, they do as they wish. In Pakistan, boys of age ten have been spotted riding bikes with their father sitting behind them. They take their young sons to work with...
