10+ things that diminish your power
1. Chasing people who have rejected you
2. Sharing too much information
3. Repeating yourself
4. Talking to fill up silence in a conversation
5. Responding to veiled insult or backhanded compliment
6. Getting all maudlin
7. Sharing information with acquittance when a long duration of time has elapsed
8. Going off topic when a current point has not been fully explored
9. Cutting people off in conversation
10. Complaining and gossiping about others
11. Not concluding a conversation
12. Parroting the other person word for word
13. Using qualifiers
Starting off a sentence with an unneeded qualifier:
I am sorry but
I might be completely wrong but
Maybe it’s just me
Qualifiers discredit your communication, and it signals doubt and a lack of confidence. People may believe that you don’t feel confident in what you’re saying so why should anyone else take you seriously? And you seem untrustworthy.
