It has been said that in some instances, the most powerful thing to do is stay quiet. It might seem counterintuitive, especially when you feel the need to voice your opinion or defend your position.
However psychology suggests there are circumstances where silence is the best response. It’s not about being passive or disinterested, but about understanding the power of thoughtful silence.
There is reportedly a fine line between adding value to a conversation and just adding noise, including holiday events with family members, neighbors or frennemies.

Incorporating more silence into our life isn’t about being passive or disengaged. It’s about being mindful of our words and knowing when they can add value, and when they might detract.
