I have always dreaded silence. For instance, whenever i am teaching a class or in a discussion and when silince sets in it feels creepy. Interactive discussions are ideal however, people say that silence is golden. How and in what context? I am reminded of a long-time ago movie, The House of Spirits. What do you do when silence sets in while having a lunch meeting with a client or teaching a class?

it used to creep me out, too, until i learned to be comfortable within its folds. i can be garrulous on occasion, but there are moments when i need silence. in fact i can be solitary even in the middle of crowds. also some people tend to clam up when they're unsure of themselves -- you know, to minimize the risk of making a mistake or offending anyone.
however, in case of interactive cmomunication, silence can be disheartening. maybe what you need is an icebreaker(?).

Definitely, an icebreaker is good especially when its sort of a hilarious icebreaker not the off color ones.... :-) Thanks trionyxx1
