Read Positively into the Unsaid

A pause in conversation after you share something doesn't mean there is a negative thought behind the receiver's thought processes. Where are your thoughts? Just because someone doesn't react to statements quickly, doesn't mean there is an upcoming put-down coming your way. Where does that come from? She might be gathering all the facts in her head, processing the information just fed before forming an opinion, before putting out there what she's thinking. Give it a moment, don't be afraid of the silence and think positively that for once, someone sees you for what you are, simple as that.
