My mother stated the silent treatment on me when I was 6. Absolutely insane!

[@ManU-go8np]

When I would calmly say to the N that “I FEEL .......” . He would reply with “Stop saying you FEEL ....” !!! Clearly any feelings that I had were irrelevant. And he was telling me so !

Thank you for your video. Can you please explain the difference between giving the silent treatment as a form of abuse and pulling away from someone giving us the silent treatment?

[@CarolineStrawsonHealing]

Initiating the silent treatment is using it as a form of manipulation (abuse/coercive control) pulling away from someone doing that is fawn response, your nervous system is responding to the danger of being controlled x

Yes, I did hit a nerve. I spoke the truth & had & still have actual physical evidence.

I hate the silent treatment! He once told me no answer meant no. He would be ignoring me & what I needed from him then because I felt I wasn't being heard I would start yelling. I was exhausted trying to communicate.

Watching on replay.. ty so much!!

Thank you very much kind clever lady! I'm currently undergoing the silent treatment from my partner after giving him some brutal truths which I'm certain have wounded him greatly. I used to adore him, worship the ground he walked on totally obsessed in love with him. I have become stronger in myself and setting boundaries with him which has caused distance between us slowly killing the attraction. I'm still finding it hard to leave totally. In mind I'm on my way out but the ties that bond us are still too strong to walk away? I remain with hope that the situation will change, he's has progressed over time but then his refusal to accept accountability for the repercussions of his actions cause me to set another boundary..

The sad thing is.......I’m the one that ended it ! And I still feel awful about the whole thing. I never imagined how destructive meeting someone would be. It changed every single part of my life. I thought ending it would give me the relief I so desperately needed but it didn’t. He didn’t even flinch, or say sorry for all the abuse and upset caused. I know I need to heal but I’m finding it so difficult 😢

Nice video. But I dont think its a good idea to tell the narcissist that the silent treatment upsets you as a lot of the time they want to deliberately upset you. My narc boyfriend has ghosted me several times a maximum of 2 weeks. Some times he comes back after like 11 days or something. Or sometimes i give in and contact him and call him out and say if i dont hear from him im exiting the relationship as its ceased to exist. That worked the last time. This time however his silent treatment seems to be turning into a permanent ghosting. No idea what brought it on but on the first day of ghosting i texted that i ext and call him and no reply so id given up. Left him voice mail too. Been nearly a month now. Last time he did silent trrearment i said im not tolerating it again and if he does it i will take it that hes not into me dowsnt want to go out with me and is seeing someone else. Yet he did it again. So ive had enough. He got me nice christmas presents soent new years eve with me then vanished january. Insane. This time i am ignoring his silent treatment and not giving him the supply so hes only ghosting himself cos hes not getting my reaction. Ive chased him the whole realtionship and im emotionally drained now. Someone said to me what if you did nothing. I knew if i didnt keep the relationship together it would cease to exist. I really have given up now a month is too long and these guys could be seeing other women when they do this. How convenient for them to vanish while they have their girl pining for them while they see other women or whatever they do then come back and expect to be taken back. No ive realised that this silent treatment this ghosting is emotional torture and cruelty they are being sadistic. I see it the same as him cheating cos thats what he probably does when he does this. Dont tolerate it or he will keep doing it. Dont let on that it bothers you or he will keep doing it. Ignore the silent treatment and get on with your life. Do not engage with a ghost whos ignoring you. Put the focus on you. When he comes back tell him you wont tolerate it and if he does it again youre out. Tell him you presumend he wanted to finish or was seeing other people so you got on with yout life. Use every day of anger and distress over the silent treatment to level up and focus on you. Eat right join gymn see friends go on holiday whatever. His ghosting is killing me but still I am not reacting to it. This way hes also getting ghosted and its his problem. If the relationship ends its meant to. Dont tolerate the silent treatment. If you even have the strength finish with him if he does it. Its absolutely insane and honestly even thouugh its painful im done being with an idiot who treats me this way. If a man loves you he chases you and doesnt want to lose you. He doesnt ignore you. Ignore him back and when he comes back he will have his tail betwen his legs. They love the silent tretament when they can see your reaction your pain your adoration you losing your mind. Its supply. But when you do nothing thats a shock to them. If they love you in their lttle warped way they will come back. If they dont then let the ghost go. You cannot date ghosts. I dont live with my narc so fir all he knows im having a great time. Im not lol but ive joined a gymn and im going on holiday in march. Im buying myself stuff on valentines. The first 2 weeks of silent treatment are hell but dont give in to him let him feel his own pain. When younget to the month mark you realise hey im not in a realtionship with this dick so assume hes cheating and let the assehole go. If he crawls back say you need to make it up to me and get him to love bomb you a trip away or something if you do want to go back. Or just ghost the ghost that ghosted you and that narc will learn his lesson.
