I love silence.  People mistake my sometimes quiet nature for shyness.  Honestly, silence can sometimes speak louder than words.  I can’t wait to find a person that can just sit on a bench with me in perfect harmony without speaking a word.  Silence truly is golden.

Me, too.  I rarely have the TV on and don’t play a lot of music.  Some mistake that for being aloof, but I’m not at all, just listening, observing, and learning.

Ditto.  My favorite sound is silence, which is ironic because I have managed to create a chaotic cacophony of sound with 5 kids, 4 dogs, a husband with adhd and 5 grandchildren…maybe that’s why I relish silence so much.

When I drive, I don’t need the radio.  I love driving with no sound at all except my thoughts.  Lovely.

Silence freaks me out. I like white noise, when I work I keep the TV on with something like a war documentary (or I listen to music), after a few minutes I tune out the narrative and I can get into my work. It is almost impossible for me to fall asleep if I can’t hear a fan. PJ is the same way, we have very reliable power here, so we never have blackouts. The first time we had a real blackout it was hell because PJ didn’t understand why the lights and his fan didn’t work. None of us got to sleep until electricity came back.
