silence
When my entire family sits around the dinner table, silence is uncommon. There is always something to be debated upon or someone to make fun of. When there is silence for more than ten seconds, you can always count on my sister to find a new topic to talk about. Silence makes her uncomfortable. I don't believe that this feeling is uncommon, for many it can be hard to sit in silence as this is what connects you to your thoughts and emotions. Reflecting on your thoughts and emotion can lead to past traumas and as they are uncovered can lead to increased vulnerability with yourself.
