Do you have trouble being silent around someone?

not at all.

I see no need to say something just for the sake of speaking, so unless I've got something to share or whatever, I'll happily stay silent. I especially enjoy watching people who are not comfortable with the silence, doubly so with women, though I'll break it if I sense they are too uncomfy.

 

Nope, I don't have any problems with silence.
Other people seem to find it awkward though.

 

I feel a little self-conscious being silent in company. The only 2 people who I have never felt uncomfortable being silent with were my ex-girlfriend and my current housemate.

 

completely depends who it is!

Sometimes I can feel the other person's need for conversation. I am very senstitve.

Othertimes, I love the silence

 

"truth is heard in silence"

 

Silence is golden and needed.

 

is there really a such thing as silence? because no matter what, there's always vibrations. even if you can't hear them at first, they're subtle and still there. the only way silence could exist is if life didn't exist, imo.

 

Trouble being silent? Me? Absolutely! I'm a talker.

But I do have my quiet times when I just don't have anything I want to say. However, it doesn't last very long, my husband can vouch for that.
