silence and listening in a relationship

I think that silence and listening in a relationship are two huge aspects of when you’re dating someone. In my experiences there seems to be a point of when to be silent and listen and a point of when to talk. I am a very impatient person and sometimes cross the line in between of when I should listen and be silent and when I should talk and state my opinion. This has gotten me in trouble more then once not just with a dating relationship but also when talking to friends and my parents. This is a bad thing that I have tried to work on lately, I think with all the novels in this class has shown me multiple ways to listen and be silent.
