Silence between two old close friends is never an embarrassment. Sitting outside, having a drink, or just walking together needs no forced conversion. Being in each others company is sometimes all you both need. Unspoken understanding of each others worth.

One of the reasons I married my husband was that we can feel totally comfortable by being together but not talking. We can sometimes sit in a car for hours and none of us utters a word and the fact that both of us are comfortable with that is one of the cornerstones of our 15+ years relationship. I need my solitude and so does he. People who feel the need to fill out every bit of silence with their voice, make me incredibly tired and drain my energy. Silence is indeed golden.

I realize that maybe that wasn't the perfect approach, maybe I wasn't giving her space, maybe it's just better that I hang out with her without needing to talk all the time. After all, she has other friends, she's always active, maybe I should just give her the moment to slow down.

As I read everyone praising Silence, I would just add one thing. Be careful with it. Silence is a double-edge sword. It is a weapon, but also a prison. There is a time for everything, and silence isn't always the best option. I am capable of being one of the most silent person in a group, principally listening and observing around. And afterwards, I feel a bit evasive, absent. What is the point of my presence if I am just here to listen ? And when I try to speak, it is not the same. I feel better in the silence. Which is bothering me. There is a time for everything, and parsimony is the best ally you can have. Know when to act, know when to remain silent. But do not act in only one way.

How you percieve yourself matters most, and know your presence is worthy enough despite not adding to the convo.

"Tacet" on sheet music indicates silence. ❤ Similar to pausing for emphasis in mid-sentence or after a statement, a silent pause in music gives the mind a moment to process and reflect before continuing into the next thought. I think of the song "An Innocent Man" by Billy Joel -- there is a dramatic although brief silence in the music. It gets your attention. Other highly talented singers and songwriters effectively use a brief silence in some of their songs. I believe it adds more emotional richness than filling the whole piece with instruments and vocals.

@MatreshkaMertveshka2 жыл бұрын
Being socially awkward and unable to start a conversation sometimes, I found that silence can help learn about people. When you're silent, some people become curious and ask questions, those are usually the nice and open types, some people are also awkward like you, and some start filling the void by creating crazy stories about you that are not real but tell a lot about what's really going on in their own heads

Works quite like a charm , teaches you patience and always leaves them (the aggressors) as the immature one in the eyes of bystanders. Boy do they get pissed I'll tell you that, and its DELICIOUS to hear it.

Bad idea to keep silent when someone is verbally abusing you, yes you may embarass them at first but they might escalate. First you should keep at least the person two arms length away from you and second you should try to leave the place. Some people will consider your silence as a sign that they can dominate you or you being submissive or even that you are not taking them seriously and proceed to escalate and slap or punch you. These Narcissistic predators when they see you silent will equate it to a freeze response and failing to intimidate you verbally, will recourse to violence. Telling them to stay away and set boundaries as you leave the place is the best way. Look them in the eye.

often times I recently learned I love silence. I go to view spots, and take in the world. When I mention to other people to sit in silence for a while, they don't understand. When I go to a silent place, I tend to listen to the natural life around me. I love hearing the wind blow through the air. It makes me realize that life is more to it than just trying to better myself. The point of life is to enjoy every single moment we have, and when I'm at my silence spot, that's exactly what I love to do. I take in the moment, and enjoy it.

Fantastic video! I’m a person who lives with complex post traumatic stress disorder. Silence has often be a harbinger of doom. I tend to fill my life with noise just to take the edge off of the insufferable silence. This video really helped me change my perspective on silence. It’s not something that needs to be endured like soaking in ice water but is rather a gift of the void. A moment of nothingness. It’s beautiful and powerful. I loved how you described silence at the end of the video “elusive yet accessible to all.” I’m going to try to reaclimate myself to being in silence in the future. You don’t know how helpful this was! ❤️

Sometimes I feel like people just experience being afraid of death, because silence reminds them that there is no lively sound, i.e. silence is like a state of not experiencing life, hence fear arises. At the same time, there is something similar to it - being afraid of darkness. No light arises fear, no sound arises fear and uneasiness. There is something similar in all these two things. Ah, also forgot about lack of social activity. Fear of missing out. See? Three similar things have something in common. Illusion that is interpreted as lack of life flowing.

@@idontknowyetwhoiam Obviously we didn't understand each other. I said that the best way to end a relationship with someone, especially an abusive person, is to remain silent. When you remain a slient in such situations, you make that person think: "why isn't he/she upset", "does he/she care at all", "is this maybe my fault" ... While, unlike the violent reaction, we only confirm that they are right and that the break-up was the right decision and sometimes we even give them a reason to hate us. All this, of course, does not mean that one should be silent in a relationship and suffer other people's bad behavior, only that one should remain silent in case of a breakup. 🙂

If you really want to experience a deeper connection with the self, try solo camping (Airbnb has plenty of options). I've been a city kid all my life but when I decided to venture out into the nature and spend that time by myself, with myself - it changed my life for the better. Having dealt with depression and anxiety it was beyond benefical to turn off all of the noise pollution (city noise, other people's opinions and expectations, you name it). It gives one the ability to tune back to their own radio station (their own ideals and expectations). As for nature, you'll be amazed at how everything comes together - it was truly an eye opening experience. Thank you for the video! It confirmed a lot of the things I came to understand when I went on my first adventure!
