Roberto Pérez, communications expert: “Saying too little has consequences. Don’t wait to say the perfect thing; add something brief and leave your mark”

Communication plays a crucial role in our daily lives, especially in today’s world. The way you express yourself can influence your professional, social, and even romantic opportunities. Because of this, people who are shy or simply do not speak much are often viewed with suspicion.

In this context, communication expert and content creator Roberto Pérez has shared a video on Instagram discussing this type of person. He explains the reasons behind their behaviour and finishes with a message of encouragement and support.

“Have you noticed that in groups, there is always someone who speaks very little, neither bothering nor interrupting, but also not fully participating?” he begins, before offering an insight into what may lie behind this behaviour. “It is easy to think they have nothing to say or that they feel uncomfortable. But the truth is much more interesting. Speaking very little is not always the result of shyness. Sometimes it is a form of protection from people who grew up in environments where they were corrected every time they spoke.”

Roberto explains that in other cases it is due to the pressure of high personal standards. “They want to contribute something perfect, and when they cannot find the right words in time, they stay quiet. And then there are those who speak little because they listen a lot. They need to observe and read the atmosphere, and by the time they have that perfect sentence, the conversation has already moved on.”

Although speaking little can have many causes, the expert notes that it often brings consequences of its own. “Speaking little also has side effects. At work, you do not get involved. Socially, you pass unnoticed. In the family, you do not participate. And none of that is true. You simply have a different rhythm,” he explains.

Finally, Roberto Pérez shares a message for his followers, particularly those who struggle to express themselves. “If you speak little because of insecurity, do not wait for the perfect sentence. Say one line, add something short. That way, you will enter the conversation with much less pressure. Give your voice a chance and leave even the smallest impression,” he concludes.
