Mute in some cases is when someone decides they’re going to dissociate and remove themselves from the world, acting as if they aren’t there. So quiet and distant that they’re “mute”. Sometimes the person also decides not to talk, or go off the radar. Some people use minimal language and words. Others only talk slightly, maybe one conversation a day. But it’s always quiet. Trying to appear as if they don’t exist in the current reality.

“Hey, we’re having a kick back at my parents house this weekend but keep that muted”

Someone who doesn’t talk. This can be do to them not being able to (due to their voice box being damaged), then not knowing how to, or just that they don’t want to speak.

There are several types of mutes:
1. A person who doesn't speak at all on purpose - "Elective Mute"
2. A person who doesn't speak as a result of severe, if not complete deafness - "Deaf Mute"
3. A person who doesn't speak at all in some situations, but is quite social in others - "Selective Mute"
4. A person who is legitimately unable to speak (or has very limited speech) due to a physical or mental health condition (usually brain damage) - This type of mutism does not have a name
