I've decided that I'm more or less going to take a vow of silence, including written communications. If spoken to I will respond with a smile and a nod of acknowledgement. If pressed, I will explain my vow of silence. Other than that I will speak only when absolutely necessary.

I aim to do a couple of things. First, to be humble and to listen, to learn and to let anyone be my teacher. I want to observe more and judge less. Second, to hone in my nonverbal communication skills. Most communication is eye contact anyway, I've learned. Third, I want to see if I ever had anything that was truly worth saying.

Wish me luck anons. I've always posted as anonymous so it's not like you'll miss me. I guess I can still participate by dumping pr0nz but other than that, I'll only be lurking.
