Wanna Become a Quiet Person in Office


  1. Try taking a "vow of silence" for a short period of time. Maybe you can be completely silent for an hour. Then try three hours. If you can make it to a whole day, you might find yourself observing more around you that you never noticed before because you were too busy chatting and drawing attention to yourself.

2.      Practice being a good listener. A good listener gives the other person room to talk and vent. If you're a loud person, you're probably the one always doing the talking, and you might need some work on your listening skills. 

  1. Think Before Speaking. One helpful tip is that whenever you're about to say something, wait three seconds before saying it. Sometimes you'll realize it doesn't need to be said at all! This will also give you a little bit of time to reconsider what you're saying.


4.      Communicate With Body Language. Speaking and making noise isn't the only way to get your message across. The way you sit, eye contact, and posture will tell people how you feel, whether they realize it consciously or not.
    • If you don't portray confident body language, people might think you're quiet because you're nervous and shy, rather than on purpose.

5.      Get in touch with your inner self. If you talk a lot, you're probably an extrovert--someone who gets a lot of energy from interacting with the outside world. But you can be an introvert, too. Pay attention to what goes on inside you more, and learn to enjoy it. Indulge in your thoughts, creativity, fantasies, and anything that's just you (make sure it is you though and not someone else).
