    Goes well with “you have 2 ears and 1 mouth cause you’re expected to listen more then talk”

    Or my favorite that I learned from an impromptu mentor: when unsure what to say, shut your mouth and hold your stare until they start talking again. You can put a thinking stare, defying stare, unsure stare, doesn’t matter, while you’re not giving away your position they’re giving away theirs simply because they’re uncomfortable with the silence.
