So, here is silence.
Scared or excited
Silence can essentially provoke these two types of reactions: fear or wellbeing.
If you are avoiding silence while writing, there are high probabilities you are a rather exuberant extrovert social animal (human).
I can imagine you, writing in the midst of a noisy café, or putting on your omnipresent music diffused in all the rooms of your house.
You refuse silence, for some reasons you may or may not know. You feel uncomfortable with it. You can go and verify the reasons of this “fear of the void” if you want. There is surely an explication for it.
I don’t blame you. There’s nothing wrong in that.
