How to handle Awkward Silence
I remember having this inner dialogue back in my younger days when awkward silence comes up on a date...
Fck I'm losing her, Fck say something funny, Fck say something witty...
Then I would try to pull stuff out my ass to keep it going and usually it goes downhill from there
Funny thing is.. Silence wasn't even the problem
Me thinking that silence was the problem is the problem
Me overthinking the situation and changing my behavior to please, to not lose her, to entertain was the problem
In addition.. When we judge silence as bad, it gives us a physiological response of anxiety and she can sense that shit..
The solution is embracing the silence.. Have nothing to say, just chill.
Go look into distance and be aware of what's going on in your environment
Feel the seat your sitting on, the left ass cheek that your leaning towards
Relax into your senses...
Inevitably she won't be able to handle the silence herself and she'll say something
Let her break the silence for once
Let her think of something funny
Let her think of something witty
And there's no need to label it as awkward
From now on.. it's not awkward silence
It's just silence
