In any conversation, a contribution is exceptionally vital. I tend to speak up while in conversation with other people to show my interest in the kind of conversation and avoid boredom. Why then should I be in the discussion if I keep quiet and what use should be the conversation to me. Despite how out of context the conversation is I tend to speak up to divert the direction of the conversation if not interested or give my contribution. Sometimes one finds himself in an interview that does not add value to their life but aid in passing the time. It is, therefore, their obligation to direct the kind of line he/she wishes the conversation to take or immerse themselves into the discussion despite the theme or idea being discussed. Deciding to keep quiet when the conversation is ongoing sent a negative message to the team or the people you are with thus creating boredom or a feeling of segregation.
Speaking up in any conversation gives one an opportunity to give their point of view on different occasion. This helps one crack joke about the conversation to pass the time of release tension that might have been built in the group or all people involved in the discussion. Whether interested to speak or not, it is better to contribute to the conversation to change people perception on you and tour reason for being there. Therefore I tend to speak up in conversation whether interested in it or not to create a reputation between the people we are together in the conversation and me. This builds trust between people we are with and me, and we sail on the same ship to avoid future segregation.
Speaking up in conversation ongoing in your presence helps one give the correct perspective of things and how they should be. Although some people fell offended when corrected speaking up the truths about the issue being discussed in a conversation helps educate the group on different things they are not aware of. This creates a reference point in future when difficulties emanate of various issues being tacked one of the members of the group you had a conversation with. Speaking up to correct them on a topic they wrongly tabulated demonstrates one's leadership and honesty in trying to enlighten others.
Silence deems an approval of a different situation. Whenever a conflict arises in the conversation and one keeps silence. The whole group perceives the silent persons as approving the battle. Silence is an active form of communication as speaking up, therefore, providing input toward the conversation reduces incidences of doughty in-between the group. In case the problem persists within the group, and you have kept quiet the people sometimes consider you as the primary cause of the problem or source of the fault. Therefore they are unlikely to thank you for withholding the information that could have solved the problem. So despite the situation and theme of the conversation tend to speak up and give my side of the story toward the issue. Although I believe most people are kind-hearted and do not want to hurt others, it is better to speak up when one perceives a dangerous path taken by the group. This is because; by staying salient you may end hurting the whole group including yourself.
