I used to be afraid of silence in communication. It seemed that if I fell silent, it meant that I was bored or something was wrong. But then I realized that silence can be warm. When you don't need to find the right words to feel someone's presence. Sometimes, we just sit in silence with our thoughts, knowing that the other person understands everything without needing explanations. Sometimes, silence speaks louder than long messages. It says, "I'm here, and I feel comfortable with you." I'm learning to avoid filling the pauses with empty phrases and simply be in the silence, in myself, in the moment. Is silence in a conversation a sign of something wrong, or a sign of true trust?
