when you’re out of something genuine to say and find yourself in an awkward silence, try to accept that. You don’t have to talk all the time to have a good time. Take your time, gather your thoughts, listen to your body for a sec. Are you hungry? Maybe change the location and eat something together? have to pee? a good moment to take your time and come up with something. You can also let the other person come up with something that’s perfectly okay :) Try not to worry and try to enjoy your time 🫶

coming back to this to say that yesterday i was talking to someone new and we ran out of things to say and neither of us tried to fill the solence we just stared at each other for like 5 seconds we didn’t even laugh it wasn’t uncomfortable,it was actually kinda nice, and in that instant i thought of this post like wow yeah… then the conversation resumed

Awkward silences are not always accepted with this mindset. More often than not people will take complete silence in a conversation to mean you aren’t compatible as friends. I think this advice only applies to people you know pretty well already.

@RUBEMECIA I find that also to be true! But I also want to know if I can be in an awkward/silent situation with somebody. If we can endure that, that’s a good sign for me. It’s unavoidable that a conversation goes silent so I think why not see how it feels with that person?

I talk a lot and feel awkward in silence. Sometimes we need to be ok with the silence.

Sometimes you just need to acknowledge what went wrong and sit it out. Don’t stress yourself about it. It’s not always your responsibility to fix things. Or just fart really loud, that will definitely spark a conversation.
