I don't want to know how to be comforting, I want to know what my verbal manifestation for it is.
Aside from listening to people in crisis, I am extremely opinionated and aggressive(although I usually put that on the back burner for fear of alienating people), and I can't often help keeping quiet or saying too much.
I have to learn how to be a little more rational, a little more peaceful, and bring people in a little at a time. Just so I don't have to be QUITE so all or nothing.

Because not being so would limit my adventures. Because not being so would make me dull and boring. Because not being so would create uncertainty in my life. Because not being so would create a motivational vacuum. Because not being so would make me more easily manipulated. Because not being so would make it more difficult for me to determine what my ethics are. Because not being so would keep me from getting involved in the risky things that are important to me.

I think one place to start could be to ask yourself why you need to be so opinionated and aggressive.
