There is no silence that does not speak...

If, I am going to be silent to reflect...

I should always warn, with this phrase, "I need space to think. We'll talk later." It's different from keeping quiet on purpose to upset the other person.

All silence speaks.

Being in a relationship and applying silence as manipulation is not okay.

The detail is to make silence to calm down and not to warn that it is for that. Because rightly, the other person quite rightly forms ideas in his head. I think that "We'll talk about it later" or "I need to think before I talk would help a lot. There is a limit being set there, but you are not ignoring the other party on purpose.

We have to express ourselves, communicate, because that silence breaks the relationship.

I remember when I was a little girl and my mom would get mad at me, and she would apply the ice-like silence to me, that made me feel guilty about anything when it wasn't like that, it was devastating, when mommy got upset about something, I felt like I was crushed, from the emotional point of view.

After that experience as a child, I understand that sometimes this silence is complicated by the bond that children are with their parents, but such attitudes are unacceptable, it is psychological abuse.

As a teenager I commented to her about how I was feeling, it was when I found out that my mother, back then, went to therapy we were 8 kids doing mischief in the house hahaha...stage overcome, mommy restored her emotions and everything changed for the better.

When I am very upset I can hardly speak, I feel that I can be very harsh with my words and I prefer to keep quiet to think things through, and it's okay to keep quiet to calm down, but this only applies to the personal level and I inform my husband or children that I am in that process, because I would never keep quiet for manipulation purposes.

In fact, with silence, we often seek to instill fear, they become a form of abuse for emotional mental health, these passive-aggressive people do it consciously, with premeditation and willfulness to destabilize the other person, they are great manipulators.

The one who is silent, gives

Without a doubt, I see this a lot in toxic relationships, well-learned behaviors since childhood, I remember when I was 6 years old at my school there was another girl who manipulated other children so that they would not talk to me, and that was very sad for me, because it generated tense situations in my school circle, full of silence that, at the end of the day, are whole messages that, if understood well, and that definitely, say much more than words.

When communication fails, love gets hurt very badly.

There is no silence that does not say anything and the real truth is that many times we use silence to make our partner understand that we are very upset, sometimes I do it with my husband, I let him know that I have to take it easy, look the horizon, and I bite the tip of my tongue to be able to hold minimum, I breathe, and then, I communicate with him in the best possible way. Have they applied silence to you, to put pressure on you? Let's talk in comments.
