So, if you are too tired
to speak, sit next to me
because I, too, am
fluent in silence.

im so fucking tired. but like, i don’t want to look at my phone or watch a film or make jewelry or draw something. i just want to bury my face in the crook of someone’s neck, but no one warns you about the guilt of being ungrateful that comes with loneliness

The difference between a comfortable silence and an awkward silence is that in the latter you feel compelled to try—and fail—to fill it.

Found this and I need to say:
I find silence comfortable when it is people that I feel safe with.
If I dont feel safe with or that I dont fully trust someone, then my silence will not be given comfortably. It will be given awkwardly. Because I will question your behaviors and words as well as my own.

My solitude does not depend
on the presence or absence of
people; on the contrary,
I hate who steals my solitude
without, in exchange, offering
me true company.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Then who was there? Where could he look for a helping hand? Someone who knew the whole set-up, and could sympathize with him, without an unnecessary exchange of words?
