Is it important that your voice "view" is heard?

Do you find it important to you that your voice or views are heard by others? If yes, why?

Do you listen to your own inner voice ( intuition)?

No. I've gone for years without having anyone to share views with. I don't think what I think really matters.

As for listening to my own voice, it depends on what its based on.

It's nice to get feedback but mostly writing the words helps me to examine my thoughts. Sometimes the thoughts are there in my head but "unvoiced" un-evaluated.

Yes, but it is essential in my experience to remain skeptical. Just because they are your thoughts doesn't make them correct.

Very similar to how i see it :)

Nothing my eye, Something for sure
I listen to my heart. I try to keep my mind quiet unless something valuable to think about occurs or I experience something worthwhile to me.

The mind can do a lot of useless thinking. Without mind food there is nothing to think about. Information that is true and useful is a necessity for reasoning and thinking.

Imagination is great when you can make your own path with it.

My inner voice is my conscience, cares, values, inspiration, desire, and focus. I listen to my conscience! I listen to my values, and inspiration. My desire is something I keep in check with my conscience. My desires rooted in love I listen to.

One of my goals is to never be slave to desire. Rooted in love the desires are healthy, otherwise they can interfere with my peace.

I'm always searching for wisdom that can unlock doors within. My inner voice can lead down healthy, or unhealthy paths.

I wish life had a manual, or technical guide.

Sometimes I like my views on nature to be heard by my grandchildren. And if I feel I have a view that might help my town or a view on fairness I like it if someone listens. But it doesn't bother me if they don't want me to share.

I always try to listen to my intuition. It has taken a lot of years of experience, trials and errors building up that intuition. So it's pretty wise most of the time. Not always of course, that is probably not possible.

Depends for both.
- If someone ask about it, just tell. If they're not or just pretend that they're interested on it, just keep it for my own.
- Intuition is good for a light decisions, but not for other as we need to carefully consider a lot of stuff before making one.

Very few care about my view. If something needs to be said, I've found that someone will say it and that does not need to be me.

The voices of my desires and limitations are very loud. I wish to diminish that roar so my intuition is easier for me to hear.

Yes, but not in a negative way. More so that I've been "shut up" for years for one way or another. So, now as an adult, I value the ability to express myself (and, living alone does amplify that) without apology. I do tend to listen to my inner voice-mostly in coincidences and sometimes dialogue. Soul-dialogue I guess one can call it. Work in progress.

Your reaction to living alone is opposite to the reaction i have, i find that i speak less and express my self less then before, my voice or opinion has soon no voice to be used :)

I can see that. When I'm alone, I speak through journaling (rather than talk to myself ;) ). Dancing sometimes and things of that nature. When I do go out the house, I talk to others and if appropriate express my opinions. But since I live alone, I just have myself.

I did the silent routine once alone but I found myself to be bored without some form of outlet. Got me depressed so I can't imagine meditating near 24 hours. If it's not at home, I'll nature walk and spend time in the sounds of nature.

It is true that being silent all day feels very similar to meditation, but it also draw me closer to nature. It helps that i moved to the countryside of course:)

It is not important for anyone to voice their view but me, what is then important is that they voice their view about my view, and apparently it is important that I become offended by their view of my view.

It is important to me, because I do it, so it must be important to me, maybe I'd feel crazy if no one heard me or knew what I'm feeling and thinking, I mean, I like putting it out there, safely, anonymously, because in real life I have very little contact with anyone at all, pretty much no interactions or people around mostly.

My inner voice is this stuff that you see here, there is almost no separation between what I think and what I write online or delay in between it.

I almost wish sometimes that I didn't care, didn't feel any interest or need in expressing myself, and just could lay around doing nothing, not desiring to do anything, not being bored by 0 mental stimulation and just basically being dead and not caring.

When I had the salmonella poisoning once, one of the things I loved about it was how the sickness made me feel like nothing mattered, all my love was gone, all my concern, I didn't care about anything at all, I didn't care about animals, I didn't care if they lived or died or what was happening, total apathy, it felt so good to not care or feel any emotion or sympathy or pain regarding what is going on in the world or around me, I could finally say "no", I could finally ignore or not feel a thing when someone told me a disturbing story, I didn't feel bad about it, it meant nothing. Then they gave me the medicine, and as soon as the thing was killed or getting killed off, back crept my Love, my care, my feelings, my sense of concern, things started to matter again, I started to hurt about things again, be bothered by things again. I was back in Hell, from the frying pan of having to constantly run to poop even when there was no poop but bile, to the fire of feeling concerned about animal welfare lol.

Your lifestory seem different then my experience:) the more silent and "invisible" i become the more compassion and love for everyone arise from within, but my voice is no longer important only the skill to listen to others has become stronger.

I would like to explore what the differences might be that ended up in the opposites, but my love went away from Salmonella influencing my body and mind and the mechanisms related to that in my story above. I feel a lot better and friendlier when I'm silent or not thinking about or interacting with human beings much as well.

Do your thought of the salmonella sickness still linger within you as a blockage of feeling compassion for others?
 
The voice in this OP is meant as your spoken words :) is it important that other hear you and listen to you.
Oh, so not just communication in general like communicating on this forum for example? No, I don't think it has ever been important for me to actually be heard physically that much, I have very little speech communication that is audible.

When i think of it, the voice here in RF is in written words, so yes your voice in RF is what you write
