Whenever I'm in the middle of a really good silence, I always want to burst out laughing.
For example, if there's ever a time in class when everyone's just reading or being quiet, I can just feel the silence everywhereeeee, and I almost want to shout or sing or laugh. Some people I know cannot stand silence at all, hence they try to fill silences with mindless chatter... And some people can simply enjoy silence! Any thoughts on the matter? |

Silences are always awkward for me. Especially on AIM, which is why I don't IM people that often. Sometimes I enjoy the silence, like after a long, thorough discussion or debate. It gives me a bit of time to think.
I always say something random to end a silence. Something really, really random like "I like carrots." And then everyone starts laughing at me and make remarks about how random I can be.  Sigh, good times.. |

QUOTE(rawr SOCK @ Feb 1 2007, 1:26 PM)  Silences are always awkward for me. Especially on AIM, which is why I don't IM people that often. Really? I remember when I used AIM regularly and silence would kind of be the standard. You know:Hey! Hey! What's up? Nm. You? Oh nothing. *silence for varying lengths of time* -possible intriguing conversation here- I gotta go, bye! Bye! That silence can literally last hours. I got so used to them they were never awkward. Now that I don't use AIM so often all of the conversations are actually useful, thank God. |
