Who invented the concept of awkward silence and how can I kill the

Because god, i really do hate how just being with a friend and not talking to them is an 'awkward silence cringe' moment. My ideal friendship would be one where we didn't have to worry about constantly talking to eachother, we could just be together in silence and be totally fine with that. Sometimes theres just nothing to say, y'know?

I really wish i was in a shounen manga where I don't even need to say a word to my main character best friend and they'd understand me and take a bullet for me and I'd do the same. Where all communiation is done through actions instead of words. But real life isn't like manga, i suppose.
