Silence carries meaning whether we intend it or not. A pause can calm tension, invite reflection, or create space for understanding. But silence can also confuse or damage trust when clarity is needed.��

Avoidant silence leaves room for assumptions.��
Strong communicators know when to hold space—and when to step in with honesty.��
Silence isn’t weakness.�Used well, it’s wisdom.
