She just needed to be assured that it was okay to be scared and that whatever life had in store for her, she could handle it, and most important, she would not have to face it alone.Įxcerpted from "STFU: The Power of Keeping Your Mouth Shut in an Endlessly Noisy World" by Dan Lyons. These were not things I could fix, but she didn't want me to fix them. You spend your whole childhood saying you can't wait to be a grown-up and get out on your own, but then you find yourself standing at the threshold-and, suddenly, you're not so sure, but it's too late. Just beyond that horizon looms the vast unknown of adulthood, and it's a little terrifying. She was scared-not only that she might not get into college but that once she got there, she might not be able to handle it. She was about to take the SATs and apply to colleges. The real problem was that she was sixteen and adulthood was racing at her way too fast and that, like most kids her age, she was afraid she wasn't ready for it. And then she started talking about the real problem, which was not the English paper. The Anxiety Wheel that had been spooling up began to slow down. "Well, you're not helping me, so I guess you don't care," she said. "If I wanted to ignore you, I'd leave the room." "I'm not," I said, and pointed to my phone, which I had put on a table, out of reach. But I kept my resolve.įinally, my daughter noticed that I wasn't talking and said, "What are you doing? Why are you just sitting there?" The overtalker in me was dying to be let out of its cage. She was caught on the Anxiety Wheel, and the more she talked, the worse it got. I told myself to just listen to her and trust that she would figure it out on her own. So, this time I tried something different: I sat there and STFU. The more I tried to help, the more upset she became. That's what I had always done in the past. I wanted to tell her how to do the assignment. She was sixteen, a junior in high school.
