So today, a romantic holiday is here, and it made me think about this April. So does anyone here participate in the day of silence? Last year I tried, I caught myself talking. xc
I can't, because I have to work. I have to talk on the comms for my job, so that makes me unable to do it.
I've done it two years in a row...not sure I'll be able to do it this year. I put black tape on my mouth in a cross so that I wouldn't talk.
That is almost everyday. Talk and talk and you are not really saying anything. Or even worse, you are saying something... Or you might even pretend to be listening to someone saying pretty much nothing... Hold on, that's today, I think...
Lol yea I didn't know what it was until last year, and when I tried, I ended up saying something, and the other LGBTQ people at my school shunned me for awhile..
I havent heard of this one, but I am interested in participating! are there any rules? or the rule is just simply dont talk for a day? And when is this exactly?
I haven't participated in years. I remember a friend of mine, a huge ally, was very committed to DoS and one year went the whole day without talking. I don't know why I've stopped, I think I just forgot the day it was on.
I could be silent and thus inconvenience everyone or I could not inconvenience everyone, explain what I'm campaigning for and spread acceptance via word of mouth. I'm opting for the latter.
No, because it's not a thing where I live. I could be silent the whole day and have everyone think I'm sulking, or I could explain it to them beforehand, but it seems like it would be a hassle and they would all think it was weird. ^^
Nah. It's not really a thing here and it's one of those days I don't really have anything against, I just don't see how it does any good or how it really makes a difference.
I had no idea it existed. I'm thinking that I might participate this year, but I'll have to see. Besides, I talk ALOT so it'll be a real challenge for me
