How Introverts Express Love: Their Silence is Not Empty

Continuation of the last post, and this concerns point 2, the subject of silence and how it isn't empty for introverts.

I've said at times that I'm a master of silence. I know how to handle it, and it doesn't give me anxiety. The opposite, loud and noisy, does. Silence is when I do my best thinking. It provides the opportunity for my creative juices to spring alive. Being someone who is sensitive to environments, the stillness in silence helps me be still. It must be said that to get the ultimate golden moments of silence, electronic devices should be turned off or out of reach. Sitting in total silence is a beautiful thing if you allow it to be.

But this point is focusing on experiencing moments of silence with other people. I've had to express at times in some discussions that some of my most beautiful moments happen when I'm spending time together with someone in silence. Some people might associate it with the silent treatment, but that's completely different. We're not talking about that type of silence here. This type of silence is a sign of comfort and acceptance, and also peace. I love being with people who don't pressure me to speak. I may actually get more talkative around them as well. It's nice to have people who will accept me whether I'm in my quiet mode or whether the talking switch actually flips on.

This subject was addressed on another post some time ago, so if you wish to read more insight on this subject, you're welcome to read this previous post of mine: The Value of Silence
