Silence is complex.It is used in music,debate,law,spiritually,commemorative silence and complete silence.It communicates important meanings.
Silence allows:
i)The speaker time to think and to formulate his thought into coherent words(verbal communication)
ii)The receiver is allowed time to prepare or anticipate the message

Please do take time to look at it.
Sometimes,silence can make you feel uncomfortable.Admittedly silence makes me feel uncertain of myself(because there may be no clear instructions given on how I should conduct myself).There is a saying that goes "silence can be deafening".It reveals a silence or lack of response that reflects something significant, such as disapproval or a lack of enthusiasm.
