I was watching a film last night and noticed how the director used silence to build suspense. Do you think silence can be a strategic tool?
Silence can be a sharp weapon, if you time it right it forces people to read between the lines and expect the next move before it happens.
Yeah, silence can feel like a quiet challenge, like it’s testing you to see how much you’re listening. I’ve learned to respect that space, even if I’m the one holding it.
Holding silence is like keeping a chess piece in reserve—you keep your options open while letting others overthink.
That’s a good way to put it—like keeping a bishop in reserve, you can shift it to any spot when you need it, and in the meantime everyone’s guessing your next move.
Nice. Keep that bishop ready, and when the board clears, it will strike where it’s most unexpected.
