Giving Someone The Silent Treatment
Greetings all, Steve here. When it comes to personality type, it seems to me that there are certain things that people do that simply don’t work and that should just be avoided. Intuitives, with their strong creative faculties and extremely weak practical grasp of facts, probably shouldn’t work on the bomb squad. Perceptive types, with their ability to live in chaos and desire to avoid making decisions, are probably not going to make great referees. Likewise, introverts, with their quiet nature and difficulty communicating, probably shouldn’t use the Silent Treatment to get back at someone.
The reason the Silent Treatment won’t work for an introvert, of course, is that the other person won’t notice for upwards of a week. How can you give the Silent Treatment to someone when you never say anything to begin with? The other person is just going to assume that everything’s cool. You’re quiet, in your own head, everything must be fine. A friend of mine was given the Silent Treatment by his normally silent wife and he had no idea anything was wrong. Notice the point.
Once again, it’s all about timing. I have no idea what that means, it just sounded good in my head. Stay safe everybody.
