Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I am very comfortable in silence, as I meditate I have become accustomed to silence!. However, I have also become accustomed to noise, particularly motor bikes and motor cars revving outside my windows!. But now I have learned to block them out, as I have more control of my mind!.

Now I feel at home in both situations!. We all have the ability to adapt, however, it does take some time and effort+Www@QuestionHome@Com

Generally, I do feel awkward when there's a silence like that, unless it's planned, or around close friends, or it doesn't last long!. I don't know why - but yeah, I prefer having music and conversation around me than perpetual silence!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i have experienced a comfortable silence, where everything that needs to be said, is being said!.
and i've experienced an uncomfortable silence, where i had wished i had a knife to cut the tension!.

uncomfortable silences are never any fun! Www@QuestionHome@Com
