You know those moments when a conversation just… stalls? It’s like everyone’s waiting for something to click, but nothing does. I can’t help but wonder if those awkward pauses are a bit like dormant seeds maybe they’re not dead, just waiting for the right spark to grow.
In my work with animals, I’ve seen how patience and the right environment can turn hesitation into connection. But with people, it feels trickier. Has anyone else noticed this? What’s your go-to move when the silence starts to stretch? Do you lean into it, or do you have a way to gently steer things back? Would love to hear how others handle it!
