About this episode
Why does silence feel awkward to some people… and respectful to others?
In this episode, we break down one of the most misunderstood aspects of human communication: high-context vs low-context cultures — and how it shapes what we perceive as politeness, rudeness, confidence, or even arrogance.
From the UK, US, Japan, Australia, and beyond, we explore:
Why silence creates anxiety in Western cultures
How hierarchy changes what people are allowed to say
Why humour works in some cultures — and backfires in others
How politeness acts as a bridge across cultural divides
If you’ve ever thought “that person was rude” — this conversation might completely change how you see people… and yourself.
