Are you the type of person whose favorite song is "When You Say Nothing At All?" Are you the type of person who rather walk a 100 miles barefoot than saying what's on your mind and in your heart?

Well, when you can't talk, let a text message come to your rescue. All you need to do then is simply send a message.

Text messaging has given us the new means of expressing our thoughts. It gives us the much-needed extra mileage of expressing our thoughts, that we are too shy or too nervous to say in person.

If you are the "dunno what to say dunno what to do" type who gets tense and tongue-tied during face-to-face conversation, you can now put across your thoughts without sweating profusely, taking a deep breath or swallowing hard before saying what's on mind and more importantly what's on your heart.

Thanks to the wonder of the technology called texting, the timid, inhibited people can now freely express their feelings. Those who subscribe to it feel freer, less wary, less formal and less threatened by sex, race, rank or social status, which, in many instances, are usually barriers to effective communication. When you can't talk or on the go let your fingers do the talking, say it with a text message.
