“When we use silence, we know exactly what’s going on in our minds and just don’t share it, but others don’t know what we hide at that moment. We know how we feel and think, but we refuse to share these thoughts. If you have a certain belief, you identify as this certain box they have created to fit you in along with other people who share similar beliefs. The mind does not like complexity and wants to keep receiving information simple. When you remain silent, this quick and simple process that the mind does becomes complex, because it needs more data. Silence requires more analytical thinking which is difficult for a mind that is preoccupied with thousands of tasks and projects to come across daily. That’s the easiest job the mind can do. Based on previous experiences and personality samples that match yours, they will assume that you identify as a certain type, have certain beliefs or share similar thoughts to other people of that sample.”

“Silence is chosen every time there is a positive outcome or to avoid a negative one. We choose silence only when it’s beneficial to us. If we think we have something to win by remaining silent instead of speaking, we will choose to do so. Silence doesn’t just happen. It’s not a situation when someone has run out of words and stays silent. Silence is carefully and smartly chosen every time there is a beneficial outcome.”
