"Me da vergüenza decirte esto pero no tengo nada que decir."
— Geoffrey Chaucer
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, people may feel embarrassed when they don't have anything interesting or important to share, especially in a conversation where others are talking. It's like being at a party where everyone else is telling exciting stories or sharing news, but you don't have any new or special thing to say. It can make you feel a bit left out or self-conscious. Imagine a friend who hasn't gone out much or done many activities recently; when everyone starts talking about their adventures, this friend might feel awkward because they have nothing similar to contribute. So, the quote reflects that uncomfortable feeling when you believe you're expected to have something to share, but you don't. In daily life, this can remind us to be kind and patient with ourselves and others, understanding that it's okay not always to have something to say, and discussion isn't only about showing off but also about listening and connecting.
