Doing 1 uncomfortable thing daily: Day 1 - Being the most talkative guy in the room

So here is me trying to improve myself and getting out of my comfort zone journey. Doing 1 uncomfortable thing everyday. I am not much of a speaker and only say thing when I have a genuine point to make. however, off late this doesn't seem to be doing any good. People think I am out of views and do not have ideas around something which is being discussed. That is not really true most of the time. So today I have a few hours of discussions lined up at work today with peers. I will get out of my comfort zone to see that I am the person who talks the most in the discussion. Lets see how that goes. It is definitely not easy to just bullshit especially when you are going there with all good intentions and making an impression is the least of your concerns. Here is the result: 1. I did well to start with. 2. wherever I didn't have a point, paraphrase and bring a new angle to it. Thus contributing. 3. However, at a point of time, could not keep up. - So mostly failed in this effort. 4. however, towards the end, did cover some ground with few strong perspectives. Though the problem at time was that why so much discussion at that point in time, so didn't think that deep during that time. Anyhow, good start but I would say only 40% cleared the challenge.
