Ppl can be silenced by being prevented from speaking or punished for it. I am conflicted on the idea of 'silencing' by social pressure.
If punitive consequences can result, yes. But if ppl only disapprove of you? If surrounded by them all day, I suppose yes.

If absolutely everyone disapproved of you, you cld get very lonely, obv, even if they had no power over your life. But this rarely happens.
