You know me oh so well...
-
No because that will not resolve anything. You need to talk abouit. even if you end up agreeing to disagree.
-
Yep. I tend to escalate the situation, so I have to be quiet and distance myself until I cool off.
-
talking to dumb people doesnt help, so yeh i gotta walk away sometimes
-
No. I usually start laughing at how silly I'm being doing it.
-
yes i do so.. depending on the situation and people i am talking to
-
Yes I do so sometimes... depending on the situation and the person I am talking to..
-
Not on purpose, sometimes I need time to myself so I'll go into another room or walk away, but I guess thats not the same as the silent-treatment. I tink the silent treatment is kind of childish, it doesnt solve anything and can even fuel the fire.
-
Yeah. Then when they get the message and DON'T pay any attention to me I go running and yelling at them. XD I suck ha ha.
-
I Just Walk away
-
like blowing their heads off? lol why not? i would love to.
-
Yes, that's definetely my typical tecnique, at least until things calm down a bit
-
Never. I have to talk it out. Otherwise, I would go insane. If I need space or time to sort out my thoughts, I at least communicate that to the other person. Good question, raverr.
-
Yes, only after going off on them and letting them know just exactly what I think of them. By the time thats over, they prefer I give them the silent treatment...
-
Give him one glass of water if he takes OK otherwise throw it on his mouth and ran away don't see behind.. he he he :-)
-
Yep, I do stop communicating. It's a old BAD habit from when I was married.
-
No, i speak my mind why i am angry then i give someone the silent treatment. Sometime when it come to that point it is for good. Depends what they have said and done to me to make me that angry.
-
Maybe not exactly the "silent treatment", but I usually wait until I'm composed, before I speak. Too many times, words spoken in anger are regretted later.
-
Yes. It works. I speak from experience, off and on Answerbag :)
-
I get quiet, but louder when I'm doing something. I won't talk, but every dish washed will be heard, etc. I give the loudest silent treatment you will ever hear.
-
It is not really a silent treatment. When I am at my most angry I try to not say anything that I would regret later, so I get quiet. I clean instead. Everyone avoids me when I am quiet while cleaning for some reason.
-
yep.
-
LOL they wish I would give them the silent treatment and I try sometimes BUT I am a talker! And when angry I am no good at keeping my mouth shut!
-
I usually speak whats on my mind.
-
If I am really angry I will give the silent treatment. I know it works cuz if someone does that to me I go nuts!
-
No way! Not that I like to fight... I like to communicate, take space if necessary, and try to resolve the disagreement as soon as possible. I really dislike conflict, and therefore, I do not revel in being in such a conflict-oriented space. I would rather try to behave maturely and respectfully and get to the bottom of it. I personally think that the silent treatment is passive aggressive and a very unhealthy expression of anger.
-
For a while, it's better to have some space at times, to have time to let things simmer down. Most of the time I end up discussing the issue anyway afterwards.
-
its better to keep your mouth shut instead of saying the wrong thing.
-
no... i would be likely to tell them what made me mad, or if something did not bother me much i would not say anything but i would not refuse to talk to a person after that... the silent treatment makes no sense to me
-
not reallly
-
it depends on the intensity.
-
No. If I have a problem with someone I either just let it go and not be angry or I will talk with the person about how I feel.
-
Meh, I usually just talk to them about it. Makes things easier.
-
depends on how mad I am.
-
no way - its so childish
-
If by silent treatment you mean I beat them until all they hear is the sweet silence of nothing than YES!!!
-
When I am angry, those around me pray for the silent treatment! I am usually quite vocal in my dissatisfaction, so silent treatment is not something I ever consider. I am RARELY angry however. It just serves no good purpose other than to elevate my blood pressure and not much is worth that anymore.
-
Hi, raverr! Good question, dearie :) NO! I am not the silent type at all. I can't stnad to sit there and seethe. I have to get it out.
-
guilty :(
-
yes, but it's not all the glares and evil looks i give them. i just simply don't look or talk or go near them for a while. more because i'm hurt probably. sometimes i get mad and go all out crazy, but usually i just shut down
-
I wouldn't go so far as to say I give them the silent treatment but occasionally I do need a few minutes to chill and gain my composer. I found this works best for me so as not to say something that either of us will regret.
-
when i got the raging hump with them, doesnt last too long, i hasten to add
-
Been there done that. If I don't want to start a fight in the house. I just have nothing to say to the person who has made me angry.
