>If silence becomes trendy amongst extroverts
That sounds like an impossibility, unless these extroverts are communicating non-verbally. How do you do the "extro-" part of extrovertedness without talking?

Maybe I can paint a clearer picture in your head if I asked you to imagine how silence would be used during an interrogation or by the main character of an action movie?
Silence used to be a very popular choice by previous generations of extroverts and it wasn't "relaxing". It created the very same tension that compels people to make small talk (and fools of themselves) nowadays.
No, not really. If anything that makes it more ambiguous, since I can imagine several different ways for silence to be used in such a scenario.
>or by the main character of an action movie
An action hero asserts dominance not by silence, but by physicality.

Was it? How do you know? Why aren't you giving those examples instead of these ones?
