Is the silent treatment immature? (Page 2)

Question

Have you ever given or been given the silent treatment?

Aynsof · Answer

Well if you are deliberately speaking for the point of punishing someone then yes it is immature  If you are silent because there is nothing you want to say then maybe not so much

Philyouup · Answer

It fucking childish and damaging. If you have an issue Deal with it. itis a vengeful. extremely petty thing to do.. If I involve myself again with a woman, and she pulled this crap.. Instant deal breaker.. No negotiations.

admles · Answer

100% immature.

It is something I will NOT tolerate. If I ask what's wrong and you don't tell me after a few times, I"ll just leave and go out and have fun.

Do it again, chances are, we are breaking up.

nubianqueen704 · Answer

Not necessarily, if you're angry and have nothing nice to say then dont say anything at all. I give the silent treatment not to be a bitch but to give myself space and time to cool off so that I dont say the wrong things out of anger

Wammu · Answer

It's about as mature as that one brat who comes on this site just to call every guy she interacts with a "hoe" and "easy".

DaniRelle · Answer

I'd rather be silent then say something that might hurt your feelings.

Browneye57 · Answer

Yes, of course it is. Unproductive as well. "I'm gonna punish you by not talking to you." Just tell them to FUCK OFF, you're not playing that game.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Yes. How can you expect the other person to even TRY to fix the problem if they don't have a CLUE what the problem is?

Ultimate_Gohan · Answer

Its ridiculous

Pinky_what_why · Answer

KimKardashiansFeet · Answer

Yes its immature, if there's a problem you need to confront it and find a solution together.

DivaMonae · Answer

No not necessarily it can be a method of cooling off.

noubigdumbdumb · Answer

Just be the bigger person sometimes. And the silent treatment is not the way to go about it.

D4rkGuy · Answer

Silent response can be accepted if it's for certain time.. to be able to think and put your self in the right track.. but not to abuse it by ignoring the whole issue!

legalboxers · Answer

in juvenile and childish, if you cannot communicate in a manner then you should not be in a relationship

Yeah. After a certain point it crosses into abusive behavior.

rjroy3 · Answer

Once, in highschool. We broke up. Yes it is immature.

Anonymous · Answer

Extremely immature. My last girlfriend did that to me on a regular basis. Needless to say, she is now my ex. I can't handle a child as a partner.

HereIbe · Answer

No! It's a VACATION! Ask any grown man. She gives me the silent treatment, I don't have to pretend to listen to her! BEER! SPORTS TV! GAMES!

jessicarosen · Answer

Yes it sure is immature. People that partake need to grow up and talk to those they have issues with.

isweatergawd · Answer

Narcissists do it to make u feel bad. Infj do it to give themselves time. A man would speak up and tell u whats the problem but give hin time. It could be immature but its the way that u do it

boulshyte · Answer

no. sometimes thats the only way. just distance and time alone to reflect and shit. its not really to be petty. and i hate it when its seen that way only makes the situation worse.

Plumizz · Answer

I have gotten it and given it yes. But I think it is immature in certain ways

depending on the reason it could be immature or for your own benefit and not to effect the other person.

emmily2396 · Answer

Yes, it is immature. Actually it's mental abuse if you do it to take revenge

Lightning8 · Answer

It's very immature. It's really a disservice to everyone more often than not

lernulo · Answer

Yes, and I don't see it so immature, I think it's a self defense against people who only want to fuck you ( not in the good meaning of those words)

Dark93 · Answer

It is immature and just makes the situation worse because people brood on the issue instead of solving it

JP_Man · Answer

It is not necessarily. If you're gonna regret what you say then better hold it until morning. If it's for a long period of time it most likely is...

Anonymous · Answer

Yes. It’s a childish attempt at manipulation and control.

giovannimontolivo · Answer

Not really. It's better than fighting and arguing in most cases.

pleasestopthis · Answer

Not necessarily. In my case sometimes staying quiet is the best thing to avoid a major disaster.

Kemil_Zhoki · Answer

I wouldn't know. When people do that to me I walk away and find people who aren't assholes.

DakotaNorth · Answer

I'm not talking to you. So there! :p Yes, immature.

genericname85 · Answer

yes, cause it doesn't solve any issues, it just creates more.

ra6282 · Answer

I always give the silent treatment. It's better than yelling like animals. Gives me time to cool down and rethink how stupid this argument is.

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

That's another way. But sometimes being silent for them just entitles them that's why I don't just let them get away with things.

Lgmswolf024 · Answer

Yes it is. Instead of giving the silent treatment how about trying to fix the problem?

bhavy24 · Answer

I think its very immature and things can never be solved by being silent

Eleni91 · Answer

It was great she finally shut up it was peaceful but that because I dumped after that.

Anonymous · Answer

I’ve both given and been given the silent treatment. Sometimes it sure is immature but I think it’s necessary sometimes 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anonymous · Answer

Yes. Saying you don’t want to talk to someone is fine. Simply refusing to talk to someone in order to pout isn’t.

Dionigi · Answer

It leads nowhere. And the response you get when you decide to end it is often harsh and exaggerated.

Brandonh3612 · Answer

Extremely. You can't face problems by not talking about them.
