Is it because i’m still young ?

Question

For some reason i always feel the need to say something back or get the last word i try so hard to mind my business and stay peaceful but if i feel some type of way about a situation i will say something because that’s just how i am or how i feel ? How do i find that peace to just walk away or stop myself because lord knows i try

Answer

The best piece of advice my mom ever gave me was, "You don't always have to say something." It can be really freeing when you stop and realize you can just stop and not let something be your problem anymore. (I actually find myself doing that a lot here when I'm just trying to make a simple comment and someone else is trying to make a whole big thing or when other people aren't open to a different perspective even though that perspective is reasonable and rational.)
I didn't REALLY get what she meant until I grew up and found myself needing to give myself permission to just walk away from bullshit.

Answer

I did this a lot until I got pregnant with my first daughter at 22. I’m not saying go and have a baby but the perspective I had was this... the amount of energy it takes to say something and argue is the same amount of energy I need to put into myself. I constantly saw myself being combative and angry and that takes so much energy out of you. Its exhausting being angry all the time. I’ve now gotten to a point where I don’t care to comment on anything unless I can say something positive or help someone.

I agree with Beth. 
I will always live by the motto - silence speaks louder than words.
