Probably one of the most common problems of our generation is the fear of speaking.
This is not surprising. The family memory, and just learned the law, the times of the 40s, when there were denunciations around and for any word, you could lose your family, and at best be exiled to Siberia.
I think this is the basis of the fact that the generation of our parents very rarely can talk about their feelings. About the experience.. Pain... Because if you talk - then they will condemn. Your problems and worries will be called petty, and devalued by comparing them with others.
Therefore: "Be silent! You will seem smarter." I see this phrase this way...
And unfortunately, my personal research shows that everyone is afraid to speak to some extent. Afraid to be themselves and express their desires and voice their boundaries.
📌 When a girl is afraid to tell a man what she is not satisfied with, because she is afraid of losing and endures.
📌When we are afraid to tell our parents about our boundaries, we endure it. This can ultimately break and destroy our lives.
