I'm ex red pill but the silent treatment really does test me
Main Post:
This isnt a gendered thing, I'd apply this judgment to any man or woman doing this
I find it really, really difficult to not lose respect for someone when they do the childish action of silent treatment. It is petulant and disrespectful. I am not a perfect human being. Yes, it may be difficult to voice things that have bothered you, but by doing silent treatment you've proven you want attention more than a fix.
Like this is one aspect I think I retained, the best thing you can do in this situation is ignore them until they stop acting like a child

I agree.
Though at times going no contact is confused for silent treatment so it's always best to know the difference between the two.
No contact: walking away from a toxic situation or person. This usually occurs when dealing with someone you've already communicated and already committed to being disagreeable and combative. Going back and forth with someone over the same dumb shit is illogical. Best to walk away whether you announce it or not.
Silent treatment: no communication at all usually, not expressing what's wrong and assuming the other person to read your mind or emotions.
But I agree silent treatment is very childish and I cannot stand that passive aggressive non sense.

Dumbass should have used blue paint to avoid this. Everyone knows red is flammable.

My kid’s Pokémon Club teacher told them that cards with vertical shimmering are fake and only ones with diagonal shimmering are real. We bought this card at a local cards and games shop.
