A long opening is a sign of a lack of confidence

If one's opening speech is too long, it's not easy for the listener to catch the main point of the speech. It's just a waste of time and only increases anxiety. But I don't know why some people still like to make the opening remarks very long.

First, it may be the speaker's consideration for the listener. If the other party is a sensitive, careful and vulnerable person, directly talking about the key point of the problem may have an impact on the other party, so the speaker deliberately prolongs the opening remarks to take into account the other party's reaction. Another kind of person considers that if the opening speech is too short, it may lead to misunderstanding or displeasure, thus leaving a bad impression. Based on this uneasiness, so extend the opening.

From this we can see that the speaker just wants to express his meaning in more detail, so he has a long opening speech.

Too long opening remarks can also make people impatient, but some people overcorrect. In the face of leaders and predecessors, they are afraid that their too long opening remarks will make the other party resent and be reprimanded. Therefore, it is abnormal to constantly take into account the other party's attitude.

In addition, when someone is invited to give a speech, it is inevitable that he will delay the opening remarks for a long time. This is an explanation for the lack of self-confidence.

Why do people use opening remarks to justify themselves?

Generally speaking, it is to hide their uneasiness. Therefore, some people will use a long opening speech to explain themselves. Therefore, this kind of person should be cautious.
