Exactly this. That urge is so real—it's almost like your hand moves on its own just to prove you exist in that Zoom box. But you nailed it: if it's not necessary, it's just noise. And honestly? Knowing when not to speak takes more self-awareness than speaking just to fill space. It doesn't make you dull—it makes you intentional. The smartest people I know are the ones who choose their moments.
