In modern realities, many people have begun to pay attention to their own speech and pronunciation.
Why not look at the filler phrases that can ruin the impression?
It is definitely worth getting rid of them during a conversation, as they only lead to negative consequences.
"Like"
The phrase "like" is one of the most commonly used filler phrases, which is inserted into speech to add confidence to what is said or to describe something.
However, overusing this phrase can create the impression of lack of self-confidence or uncertainty.
"It's, like, so to speak"
Expressions such as "it's, like, so to speak" can take away the weight of the words and leave the interlocutor with a feeling of uncertainty or bewilderment.
They are often used in speech as fillers or as a means of softening a statement, but in most cases they only serve to confuse.
"All in all"
The phrase "in general" is often used to move on to the next aspect of a conversation or to sum things up.
However, its excessive use can give the impression of lack of clarity of thought or vagueness. Also, all the words that were said before this phrase can be misunderstood.
"As if"
Phrases like "as if" are often used to soften or weaken a statement.
However, they can create the impression of uncertainty and lack of self-confidence. If a person is confident and understands what he is talking about, you will definitely not hear such statements from his lips.
"So-so"
The phrase "so-so" is often used to express a negative attitude towards something or towards an opinion expressed.
However, it can be perceived as impolite or unprofessional, especially when used without clear explanation or reasoning. Even in a friendly conversation, such a phrase can cause misunderstandings.
