Sound Of Silence

“It is what it is.”

Translation: “I don’t know what to say and silence makes me uncomfortable.” 😬

Sometimes, every second of silence feels like the door creaking open to:
🌀 What if they’re mad at me?
🌀 Should I say something so they say something so I know for sure?
🌀 Okay, that worked... for like 5 seconds. Better say something else just to double check...

Humans are weird, aren’t we?

Here’s a fun game to play at home:

🎲 Next time there’s nothing to say in a conversation…

Say nothing.
Wait.

Let the space breathe.

There’s a good chance the other person fills it—because they’re uncomfortable now.

And even if they don’t?

Notice how it feels to sit in that stillness.

You might find it’s not as scary as it seems.

Bonus round:
Try this in a job interview.

Answer the question.
Stop talking.
 
Silence can be your power pose.
Not your panic button.
