Why is silence so powerful?

[brooklyn_boulevard]

I might be chewing on my teeth with this thought but its something I have observed for quite sometime......"Why is silence so powerful?"

When I get into an argument with someone and I reply with a repetitive and belligerent anger of words....it never settles the argument nor does it create the peace. Although, when I listen to the person and I don't reply with a single word and I walk away.....you can feel the shift of their body language; they kiss ass and most likely they apologize even if you were the one that was on the wrong side of the spectrum.

Why is silence so powerful?

Why is silence so loud?

No1 likes being ignored. Ever try to ignore your girl or moms? They get even more upset.

They have to self reflect instead of responding to what you said

Works every time

silence is a reminder your death is coming even welcomed, in todays loud junk culture silence speaks louder than ever

@ben anderson @Pseudonym I have tried it on my sister and my mother. My mother loves to be argumentative........she can try to be debate George Washington is not on a dollar bill for the sake of a good argument. Although, when I ignore her and walk away.....you can tell its like a heroin junkie missing her dose. She will stick around me and ask if all is well. be kind and all just to get her argumentative fix. Its a mind fukk if you may ask.

I’ve learned that some people truly live off negative energy. Sad but true. And I was a dumbass feeding it to them. I used to feel like a bytch walking away from stupid arguments due to my ego but now I have so much more peace of mind. When I walk away I look mature but inside I’m like

Come on Nikka......did you get the perspective? Its not about being in an argument. Even when you are hanging with a large group.......people pay attention to the quiet guy in the group. Kiss ass and ask if he is alright. Listen more and talk less, Breh

I misunderstood then, I was focusing on silence in an argument. I think silence speaks louder than words in any situation because you never know what someone is thinking, we used to have a saying in school, don’t fuk with the quiet ones

Some people are just naturally quiet just scoping out the scene learning peoples personalities, being around talkative people stresses me out sometimes

An empty wagon makes a lot of noise

@Daniel Day Lewis I guess you get the point, Breh. I already wanna know what the three dots mean on your thoughts. What are you thinking breh? Talk to me Nikka.......I end up kissing you ass just to rub off this curious scratch on my mind but like a well learned nikka.....I don't give a sh*t. Keep it to yourself brotha. Peace

He's currently my favorite troll here. Far as silence goes it keeps the other person guessing which is powerful

That makes no sense. People in school always seemed like real idiots to me, no one ever powered their brain to think this person is quiet because they find everyone else boring, lame or corny? Or some just like the peace and quiet.

I think people who say things like about quiet people are just trying to deflect or find something wrong with someone for simply not fukking with them, kind of funny.

i actually talk a lot but i know when to keep quiet. i think silence is powerful because it forces folks to process what's going on. i actually have people get frustrated because i talk slowly. People really want things to move so fast as if there is some clear answer, agreement, resolution...to everything. When in reality, the ultimate answer is silence. There's a lot too your question, though. Silence is interesting stuff.
