      100%. I read somewhere that at 7 seconds, the silence becomes really awkward and more often than not, someone will break the silence. My ass of a director uses silence as a tool to get information from people.

      I used it back on him, and we had a staring contest. He doesn’t stop to chat anymore. Most definitely a win for me. He was a manipulative, backstabbing POS.
