Here's confidence number 83. Stop filling every silence. Confident people are comfortable with silence, and they let the silence sit. Let other people contemplate what they're going to go on and say. But people who are a bit shy or nervous don't like silence, and they tend to fill it. The problem is they don't fill it with the right words.
