I think soā¦if someone u love refuses to even whisper in your direction, the pain hurts just as much as if they hit uā¦ like a parent being disappointed rather than spankingā¦
Sure can. My silences tend to be.

When a women gets quiet on you - look out! Most of the time theyāre holding a grudge or not telling you everything they think.

There are pretty brutal things that can take place in silence. I donāt want to say because Iām pretty sure it would trigger someone. Iām thinking about some pretty graphic examples.
if you have a silencer.
lol lol just kidding.
Google define violence as ā(especially of an emotion or unpleasant or destructive natural force) very strong or powerful.ā so it is possible, I thinkā¦
Silences launch wars.
yeah, especially when it hides things that could wipe out many lives.
silence is good in that way.
i guess thatās why i keep my mouth sewed shut and my limbs tied up.
better they hear my silence
than see what it shields
No answer

silence can be violent, in the sense of āintense in force, effect, etc.; severe; extreme.ā (dictionary.com)
but in the sense of destructive force, silence is not violent.
It still causes an inner conflict in the body. If it builds up then it eventually escalates to violence. It is not destructive immediately but it is destructive to the āpsycheā or whatever you want to call it; it is not healthy nor productive to the individual.
I say this because my twin has a way of getting pissed at me for not ābeing expressively violentā. He insists that itās healthy to āventā. I say its healthier to address just what it is that makes you āwantā to vent in the first place. Of course, he insists that my inclination towards not wanting to āventā is unhealthy. He was right to an extent.
