Show Notes

Why does silence feel awkward to some people… and respectful to others?

In this episode, we break down one of the most misunderstood aspects of human communication: high-context vs low-context cultures — and how it shapes what we perceive as politeness, rudeness, confidence, or even arrogance.

From the UK, US, Japan, Australia, and beyond, we explore:

Why silence creates anxiety in Western cultures

How hierarchy changes what people are allowed to say

Why humour works in some cultures — and backfires in others

How politeness acts as a bridge across cultural divides

If you’ve ever thought “that person was rude” — this conversation might completely change how you see people… and yourself.
