Silence is golden in social interactions. It can be a powerful tool to show respect and consideration for others. However, sometimes we need to break the silence to express our thoughts and opinions. Keeping close-mouthed can sometimes hinder effective communication and lead to misunderstandings.

When we communicate effectively, we can build stronger relationships and foster trust with others. Therefore, it"s essential to strike a balance between silence and speech to achieve optimal communication outcomes.
