If I asked you the first thing about being non-expressive, you would certainly point out a person who does not speak or talk readily. We normally term such a trait as being non-expressive. But over the years, I have realised that people can be non-expressive, while people can also be (false) expressive at times. Why do we say that some one is non-expressive. When people do not express “themselves” before you. Isn’t the end result the same when people express false. You don’t get whats inside them in either cases.
But I guess people who do not express are better. They don’t give “false” hopes and promises. People who express in a fake bound manner are more dangerous because they create a faux aura around you that trips you to the ground. Flat! On your face!
People who are non-expressive, will show their concern (if any) via other modes, likes being the caring and the constant look-out for you. Wanting the presence and missing when you’re not around. That is the reason why I am comfortable with silent truths than loud fakeness. You know that when you’re in real deep shit someday, it’s the silent but the honest one who will come next to you on that bench and give a hand to put yours on, and console. They wont talk to you,(mind you), but will simply sit next to you or just keep a hand on your shoulder while you recollect yourself.
And when the recollection happens, there will be “One” word or a phrase and that will make up for everything. This will be followed up by mostly a smile. And believe me, this is good enough for a person like me to garner enough strength to smile and go to bed smiling. Quite enough.
I am writing this, because today a friend of mine told she hated people who spoke less and expressed less. I told her instantly that I have known people closely who talk less but express more. Way more than what words could do. Ever. I later realised how people who “spoke less/expressed less” are way better than people who expressed fake.
I am in the category of people who express fake. I am the villain here. 😀
But I really enjoy the company of people who don’t express too much, because it makes me express less fake and be more true to myself.
