"Le silence me déprimait. Ce n'était pas le silence du silence. C'était mon propre silence."
— Sylvia Plath
Simplified Meaning:
Feeling sad because of silence doesn't come from the quiet around you, but from the quiet inside yourself. Imagine being in a room with other people, but not talking to anyone. Even though it's not really silent, you feel lonely because you aren't connecting with others or expressing yourself. This kind of silence comes from holding back your thoughts and feelings. A good way to overcome this is by reaching out and talking to someone, sharing what's on your mind. Doing this can help you feel more connected and less lonely.
