It's emotionally immature and yes it conveys a powerful message.

Such a manipulative technique. I used it before and it cost me big time. 😬

People who give silent treatments instead of just using their words to express themselves obviously don't understand it can also be reciprocated. I refuse to keep talking to the air, a blank text or begging someone to talk to me. When you're ready to act like a grown up, you have the number, I will be over living my best life and minding my business..

Thank you for sharing! In current culture, silence is applauded way too often as a more noble thing to do rather than actually do the brave work to communicate and help make things better for everyone. Love your work! Keep it coming! 🤩

I did it for a while.
When I felt very hurt, not understood and alone. Very sad and angry too.
Soooo angry, I could not talk.
And then I would not talk.

I refuse to communicate with strangers when I’m in a bad mood 😒

My coworker is stonewalling me. I'm surprised at how much it bothers me.

Music is distracting! I want so much to hear the message but the upbeat tone competes with a heavy heart.

Wife of 4 yrs...
Threatens to leave probably 2x a month and each time she threatens to leave I panic and work hard to convince her not to leave. During this time though, which can last for days I get complete silent treatment. She sleeps next to me but won't say one word to me for days at a time. I am so sick of it.

That, coupled with ice, is the worst of all; I grew up with it and I wait for someone's anger and am surprised when nothinng bad happens .

Atp you got some many times to give me the silent treatment before i start to move on. This is immature we can not fix a situation if you refuse to communicate 🤷🏾‍♀️

Im dealing with institutional abuse after a suicide attempt last year. Staff started accusing me of lying when i didnt. Disgusting as im honest been quaratined for 8 weeks but im done talking as im tired of verbal abuse. I need a break. Talking does not work.

Dealt with a chinese girl for 3 years. Got mouth shut often enough. Since i learn to manage my reactions, when they irrupt. And knowing what emotions does, a physical reaction, with incomfort, there is adaptation. And that is part of human life. I believe the refusal to communicate is communicating. And if communicating takes place again, it must be on a different level, as it is prescribed. Are we collectively afraid to get corrected? And we evolve not getting the lessons we should have learn? I still talk to her. I have not always contained myself. But she did not judge or condemn the outbursts, contrary the the occidental culture. And recently trying to go social, positive and negative emotions have arisen. (Got blocked, canceled, kicked out...) But i am building resilience. That is what i noticed. Making others responsible for our incomfort, our feelings, is probably unproductive. Dealing with ourselves is the first step. Learning through grinding is probably the way.

After being told to shut up, I decided to keep the peace. The unintended side effect was not missing the whiny demands of attention from the loudmouths.

[Spiralclarity]

Silent treatment is evil!!! Just admit you're mad!!!! 😭

[lisahamrick]

[barbarau]

I like to imagine he's recording this in front of his wife who is actively giving him the silent treatment.
