Course overview
Lesson Overview
3.7 – Interpreting Silence in Communication: Silence can speak louder than any word. It may mean thinking, listening, or holding emotion. Some silences feel peaceful, while others feel tense. Not all pauses need to be filled with talking. Waiting quietly gives others space to share more. In emotional moments, silence can show care and respect. Use eye contact or nodding to show presence without pressure. If silence feels uncomfortable, ask a gentle question. Learning to read pauses improves patience and awareness. Understanding silence helps you connect beyond words.
