Most of us have developed some kind of filter system that allows us to decide what we are going to broadcast publicly and what should stay inside. Through our vast experiences in life, both good and bad, we have discovered what things we can say and the type of things that we can’t.
Especially in today’s hyper-sensitive and politically correct culture, we have become, for the most part, keenly aware of what can be said where, and that is the key difference between your outside voice and your inside voice.
