    I use this all the time. At some point in my life I just stopped being uncomfortable with silence, but it drives most people mad.

    And it’s not just useful in terms of having an “opponent” stew in some social discomfort.

    Use it to take a moment to think. Use it to give the other party time to think. Use it to let your most recent words hang in the air and gain more weight. Etc.
