he liked confidencehadnt lacked
it since he quit stuttering as a youngster since they havent been able to shut him up
confidence is revealed without a
word it has a physicality in mannerisms how one carries themselves how they talk directly do not avert their eyes it is revealed in their walk
I saw you earlier this afternoon.
I missed you why didnt you stop me say hello
Couldn’t, I was a block and a
half behind you.
They may not have been me
It was you, no mistaking
you, it’s how you walk, the way you carry yourself . . unmistakable.
two other women who walked up on
the water cooler overhearing their conversation nodded We’d recognise you at a block and a half too,
coming or going.
I did not know that
confident
competent
a competitor
a quiet elaboration how one comports themselves
Whas not to like
Really. I think confident people
are stuck up, full of themselves.
If they can carry water then whas your take
I’m uncomfortable around them.
Why Whas your consideration Ive an idea
Nothing more than they make me
uncomfortable.
Youll not put a finger on
anything
No. Being uncomfortable is plenty for me . .
.
. Because you lack confidence
they werent
fighting words but they werent kind either he believed if his words were honest one shouldnt be upset by them any more than when someone is wrong shown
they were wrong called out if necessary which usually has become the
case now people prefer to be right even
when theyre wrong he felt that they
ought to be able to admit it when he was
wrong he was untroubled admitting his mistake
I have confidence.
he wasnt convincing
Im not saying so to knock you Yare not confrontational its not in your makeup You prefer to get along Youll be agreeable just to get past the
moment
However those are the moments when to stand correct the err before it can metastasise poison others
Poison? he asked harshly
Poison
Gangrene can cause the loss of a
limb or kill the sufferer Why not try to
help the sufferer before things go long If for nothing more unable to dissuade them that the next time they go
to open their mouth theyre aware someone else might take up against them throw shade on them
Theyre
performers they want the bright spotlight they don wanna share a soapbox
So you want to help?
Aint grandstanding
We were corrected as children
when we were wrong That shouldnt change
because were older Because were older we
should have the grace to admit were wrong when we are wrong There is no shame Aint nobody perfect however we ought to strive for perfection Correcting one error at a time we grow closer
he almost mumbled Then you do it.
I intend to I will
