Political scientist Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann calls this behavior the spiral of silence. A few weeks ago I was jamming to the radio while traveling to a meeting. Paused at a stoplight, I glanced at the car to my right. The driver met my eyes, shook his head, and made the cuckoo gesture. I smiled and kept on singing. Had this situation occurred early on in my personal journey, I would have responded very differently.
