It really depends. On the phone, it's immediate (I HATE being on the phone....). In person, I don't find it all to awkward to have even long bouts of silence. I like to be around people who have more quality things to say rather than quantity. Plus there's something to be said about understanding what people around you are thinking/feeling without actually SAYING anything. I'd rather see my friends observing things quietly rather than gossiping or talking total nonsense all the time.
how long does it take before you think it is an awkward silence
