awkwardness of silence

I feel people think something is wrong when there is silence and it makes them feel uncomfortable. this is because in our world i think we learn that silence is bad. I don't like silence and I am a person who like to talk, so I just don't like when it is totally silent. Sometimes I think people just like to talk to here themselves speak, but I think talking is a good think and is good also when there are problems and things need to be worked out. Overall I don't think people talk to much. I think a lot of people do need to listen better and spend more time listening, but others are good at it. Our society doesn't yearn for "peace and quiet" because we are always at war and are trying to help people who in my opinion do not want to be helped. As Americans we are also loud and i don't think are society teaches us that we r to noisy. i have experienced awkward silence and i did feel anxious about it. My really good friends i can sit in a room with and not speak because they know me so well and can almost read what i am thinking or how i am feeling. we should be more comfortable with silence because it isn't a bad thing and it is truly golden. we spend most of our time looking for music because our generation is a lot about music and likes and we can relate to the songs we listen to.
