I am bad at silence, too, at least in the sense that I am bad at not being silent if I am with someone who is also being silent. (I do some of the analysis, too, though exactly what I wind up analyzing can vary a good bit.) For the record, the best way to get me to be not silent is to talk to me, give me something to respond to. It won't always work, because sometimes I still won't come up with anything, but often it will lead my thoughts in a new direction, and then I'll be able to voice them. Which is why I don't mind when you babble (or anyone else who likewise babbles intelligently).
