is it because Iām worried about external circumstances that Iām unable to control (like bad WiFi causing my audio to lag)
- maybe I can tell the person Iām talking to āif at any moment something gets cut off from what Iām saying, please cut me off so that I can be reassured that everything that Iām ā
-
or is it because I donāt trust myself in these situations?
-
neither
-
I think I found the root cause: Iām still scared of silence in conversations
-
I havenāt tested that theory out but I really think it would help:
- whenever we both are in the call, we take like 5-10 seconds of just having a deep breath and being comfortable with the silence
- by doing this, I would train myself to remain in control of my emotions and also make it a ānormā for us to be silent and not needing to blurt something out
