The Surprising Power of Silence: 7 Life Moments Where Saying Nothing Speaks Volumes, According to Psychology
You have something to add, a similar experience to share or a counter-point to raise.
The words are on the edge of your lips, ready to burst forth.
But wait.
This might be a moment where silence can be a beautiful act of respect and kindness.
Give them the space to express themselves fully without interruption. It’s about showing them that their words matter, their experiences are valued, and their opinions are heard.
