    Actions speak louder than words. Or so they say. But is there an occasion when actions alone are not enough? Where we would need words more than actions? Where the action is more deceiving when showing intentions instead of words?

    The Mandela Effect, basically.

    And using a commanding tone to lure your co-worker somewhere outside for no reason. It just works if you're confident enough.

    Next would be a paraplegic.

    I try to make any promises as I don't know if I can keep them or not, and when I do I try to fulfill them

    Exam results. Results speak louder than a guarantee via words.

    Telling someone they look nice I guess. Compared to showing them they look nice? I don't know how you'd do that, put a mirror in front of them?

    Double "p"! There are two Ps in Rapped!! The meaning completely changes when you use one P!

    Giving a clear message on someone up needs more words than actions, that's why they said that shy people or loners tends to show difficulty on "expressing" themselves. A simple "pat in the back" won't cut it to tear off the grief of someone. Being there everytime for someone you like won't cut it without expressing it by words. Being physically there doesn't mean you connect with others, words gives you the expression, action solidifies its will.

    When you know something wrong is happening but intervening would end very badly for you.

    Last week I was feeling upset. It was Mr. Hamster’s words that helped calm me down and feel better.

    When you wanna comfort someone that lives on the other side of the world, words end up being a lot more important than actions~

    Mostly involving trust. Let's see... You don't actually start to prepare funeral arrangements when you try encourage your relatives despite knowing full well they are not gonna make it do you ?
