The "silent treatment"
Is going silent and ignoring a person not one of the dumbest and least productive ways to handle a conflict or react when someone offends or angers you? Especially when the other person is not even clear on what is bothering you in the first place.
It annoys me.
Anybody here do this? WHY? 
Anybody here get the "silent treatment" from anybody recently?
Yes.Been done to me before, and the person got an earful.
They're probably half deaf by now.
SSSShhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
I think giving the "silent treatment" adds more problems to the situation.
I had someone give me the silent treatment for days. I was so furious with her (especially because I didn't know WHY she wouldn't talk to me,) that it has caused long-term problems with our friendship.
this one bitch has given me the silent treatment for the longest. Its been months since she last spoke to me. 
maybe she no longer wants to be friends. 
It bothers me, i think about her all the time. 
It seems to be a popular knee-jerk female defense mechanism. Women are really good at saying everything by saying nothing though, so I can hardly blame them for using it. Becomes super annoying when somebody does it often though - very hurtful.
I got given 6 months of the silent treatment. I did sort of deserve it though I took some very private pictures of a girl I got a bit to friendly with at work. She was very nasty too me at house party for no reason. In return I showed the pictures to a load of work colleagues in the pub, my mates and my Dad saw them and found them hilarious. She was 
But let's just say I got even. 
But on the thread topic yes it's childish thing to do and makes this awkward

on topic:
i've gotten the silent treatment multiple times from my roomate, it's so fucking dumb and stupid - i hate it. I deal with it by trying ONCE to talk to the person. If that fails, I just ignore them and basically give them the same treatment back. So it's pretty nice in the respect that you dont have to feel bad about ignoring that person.
I actually used to give silent treatment to people when I was younger, but I learned that it's pretty useless and usually does a lot more damage to a relationship than good.
silent treatment from a woman: not very effective against men
silent treatment from a man: VERY effective against women

I personally enjoy it. Other than that it is almost impossible to get them to shut the fuck up about bull shit trivial things nobody wants to hear about.
I have gave the silent treatment to someone before but when I did it they freaked out and thought I was going to kill them. In all cases in didn't work for me 
If your doing it to prove a point it almost never works (Thats if you plan on talking to them again lol). It could possibly work if they know what they are doing wrong or feel bad but in all honesty I think talking about it is the best way if they have no idea (otherwise there going to be like wtf? and probably be more confused then they already are).
However I found out if someone is anoying and you tell them it usally pisses them off. In your case consult a scientist...
The silent treatment is for people who don't know how to problem solve using mature dialogue.
Fuck em.

| Originally posted by Lira I've got to agree with you here. My girlfriend's family is having a great problem with her sister-in-law. She lives at my girlfriend's house along with my girlfriend's brother and mother. Not only she managed to piss off everyone in there, she doesn't say a word to anyone, and even writes notes in case she needs a favour. My girlfriend also tends to be extremely quiet when she's pissed off, which leaves me confused, because I usually have no idea of what unleashed her fury |
