How do we feel about silence?

How do we feel about silence? What's up everyone! Hope all is well and looking forward to turkey day. Was just going through some posts and wanted to contribute to discussion. Does anyone feel like, because they're insecure about their own stutter, they dread/avoid silence? I find myself winging small talk then having a prolonged vowel with a lil face-twitch-flare. I wish I was more comfortable taking in conversation and reflecting before replying. Don't know if this is related to stuttering or is just a personality trait Was
