Hi, lilly I know what you mean , I used to tire myself out and waste so much energy filling in silences like that ,
now I try never to fill in any awkward silences with quiet customers or friends, because it is very bad for your concentration and your own nerves ,
you can end up with indigestion and tummy pains ect...
also some people like to simply chill and not talk a lot because they feel so relaxed with you , so its a nice compliment really ,
it's is nobodys responsibility to fill in blank spaces,
she is probably just a quiet person and probably doesnt even notice the silence :hug:
so relax and enjoy the peace
when you relax your body language says it all for you and will reassure quiet people that everything is ok ,
I must admit though I did have one customer who used to puzzle me
she would show me a picture of how she wanted her hair cut
and then she just sat there throughout her whole hairdressing service with her nose stuck in a book , even when I was cutting her hair ,
still puzzles me ,
perhaps she had a stammer, or was painfully shy or simply rude , who knows ,
I gave up trying to work folks out after I found out that they are all so very different,
I guess there's now't as funny as folk lol x
