Does silence make you uncomfortable? 1

A lot of people seem to get uncomfortable over silence in social situations.
Usually when things go from everybody talking - to silence - I either just kinda observe as everybody desperately tries to get the momentum of conversation going again without helping like the weirdo I am, or I will say something to help get conversation flowing again so everybody doesn't feel uncomfortable. I guess it depends on my mood at the time or something.
When you're in a group of people, and the flow of conversation finds itself halting at an "awkward" point, do you get anxious (presumably because of your subconscious fear of the present moment?), or does it not bother you?

Yes. I can't stand silence. It's awkward.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I never really feel all too awkward in the traditional sense, but I can sense when other people feel that way. I can get uncomfortable sometimes over weird dynamics over a situation but not in the same way, IDK I guess it's hard to explain.

If I'm with my close friends, not at all. I think its because I know them well enough that sometimes when conversation drops off, its not because anyones pissed or something, people are just chilling or trancing out.
If it happens with someone I don't know that well, yea, it does make me feel kinda awkward. I guess its because I'm unsure of whether the person is simply quiet, or because I said something that made the conversation awkward or uncomfortable for them. I'm extremely comfortable discussing things that I guess some people find awkward, emotional or sex life related, stuff like that

If you stop observing, that is when things get out of control. IMHO.

i used to, but now i've found it is ok and there's nothing wrong with it. actually the best times come after the silence is naturally broken, but u have to let the silence do its work. if everyone knew this we'd have some hella good times.

It's usually girls that get more awkward over it than guys. But then again, girls generally seem to get uncomfortable a lot quicker than dudes in general I think

that's true too. we cant just be silent, because our minds are still making lots of noise. that;s where most of our uncomfortableness comes from. we have to let out minds roam free as well like the silence that we are speaking about here. let it flow like the river of Giza.

I've noticed some people actually get aggressive and confrontational when I'm silent in a social situation.
I just like hanging out with people and sharing energy, looking at the moon and stuff.

When I'm in a big group and there are awkward silences it amuses the shit out of me but when it's me and one other person it's awkward as fuck. Once I know a person pretty well, like a lot of awkward shit has happened then awkward silences are no big deal.

Which is odd considering the shit people prattle on about.
To me, some people talk to keep from tripping when under the influence.
This addiction to normal linguistic mentality, keeps them from delving into the deeper waters of the trip.
They get nervous and just cannot give up the mindless chitter chatter...

Silence doesn't make me uncomfortable. I'm usually more comfortable when there is silence. I can tell when other people get nervous from not talking, sometimes I'll come up with a conversation topic, but mostly I just let them be uncomfortable until there isn't forced conversation.
