#39 - Quiet People Have It Rough

A lot of people have a hard time dealing with silence, especially in the presence of another person. In many cultures, silence is viewed as a problem, a breakdown in communication, or a void that must be filled with some kind of noise. If the person we’re speaking with is silent too often or for too long, we tend to associate negative feelings with them such as boredom, awkwardness, and rejection. This episode will give you a different way to think about silence and help you to understand quiet people just a little bit better.Support this podcast with a monthly subscription and get access to bonus podcast episodes, advanced PDF vocabulary guides, and our private conversation group on Discord! 👉 https://www.realenglishradio.com/membershipFind me on social media!TikTok: @realenglishradioInstagram: @realenglishradioTwitter: @tonykaizen Hosted on Acast.
