In this case, though, I think she was afraid that his silence might be hiding a simmering anger. Either way, my point is that silence is often seen this way: as keeping something hidden, something that might be unpleasant. Looking at it another way, you could say that a lack of silence is more comforting to people. While I can understand some of the fears that people have, it's still disheartening that something I find comforting -- something that I so often <i>am</i> -- regularly makes others uncomfortable.Zeri Kydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13028845183080588193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507724920336059061.post-28311232181660071022011-08-10T02:33:37.827-07:002011-08-10T02:33:37.827-07:00My guess is that what she really is saying is, &qu...My guess is that what she really is saying is, "I am uncomfortable because I do not know how he really feels about me and I fear that it might be negative or that he is judging me harshly."Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506141014376919585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507724920336059061.post-26669566869358956952011-08-08T23:35:51.838-07:002011-08-08T23:35:51.838-07:00Mei Lian, you're right, and it's true that...<b>Mei Lian</b>, you're right, and it's true that there's probably an understandable reason for the feeling.
