About this listen
Many of us interpret this silence as an indication that something is wrong; we’re boring, they’re boring, someone’s uncomfortable, there’s nothing else to talk about, etc. But the reality is that silence can not only be pleasurable, but also a useful tool when making conversation with people, especially ones you don’t know very well. So in this episode, I’m gonna teach you to think about and use silence in a more productive way so you can have better conversations with anyone you meet.
