Solace in silence?

Today, i was asked to be comfortable in being silent. I don't know if i could disagree more to anything! How can i learn to be comfortable with something i don't like. Or could I? Thinking differently is not a crime and likewise speaking out is not any crime. Only i could tell them so. May be some day, i will know the comfort of silence - until then I want to be the way i feel the way i should be.
