How to read silence without anxiety
Another person's silence is not always a sign. Sometimes it is just absence of data.
Fact and story
Fact: the person does not answer. Story: they understood everything, left, will return, are testing. Oracle work begins by separating these two cups.
Calm question
The best question is not 'when will they text', but 'what do I need to preserve in myself while there is no answer?'
Short checklist
- • Write the fact.
- • Name the emotion.
- • Choose an action without pressure.
