Pisces silent treatment

Resorting to being silent in certain situations or with certain people is definitely a part of my character .. though, I wouldn't define it as treatment in such a way. I gather that you are meaning that to treat a person with silence is for the purpose of getting the other to respond a particular way ... manipulation.

I don't do that. If I have made a decision that I am finished with a person and they therefore are put on ignore, there is no other motive in this .. I simply have written them off and no longer have any dealings with them.

My reaction to being ignored is the same .... the person no longer has any relevancy in my life to even consider them as existing.

Yes, I've witnessed piscean silent treatment.

BUT with the advent of technology, ambiguity and silent treatment go hand in hand.

I'm sure it probably looks that way, Blingy.

For me though ... I have no motive in getting a response from the other person. I simply stop all association. Even if there is a response, I'm oblivious to it.

I suppose most people do this to get a particular reaction .. in which case, you are right, it is always a manipulation.

Have you ever read the book ... The Disappearance of the Universe

Not too many people would appreciate it, S ..... I think you would.

This topic reminds of me passages in it.

Like the pysche knows to step outside of the dream, to ignore, to be silent and not respond/react ... however, the ego has such a hold that dualism steps in and demands that this (treatment) is for a brain purpose, rather than the mind's need to wake up out of what caused you to know you needed to ignore it in the first place.

Ok, that ^^^^^ was hard to explain .. sorry if it doesn't make sense.

Guilty!! ;( I don't do it for manipulation, I do it for self-protection. I will at a later time voice how you have hurt me and I will asses how you respond to that. This will usually determine if I can trust you again or if I swim away. I only do this if you have really hurt me. Sometimes I accept people as they are, but if I find you to be a mean spirited person I will usually dispose of the friendship.

I don't know if I get this or not... BUT...

There is this girl who I come across, don't even know her name but instinctively knew to ignore her. I have not once acknowledged her existence, yet she is constantly watching ever step I make, staring hard. The more I ignore her, it seems the more irate she becomes and determined to get me to respond to her in some way.
I know eventually, my ego will take hold and I'll have to lay her out with some biting words.

I don't really care to, and wish she would just go away... but it is what it is.

I'm Pisces Rising and wondering if that's it, since I don't usually treat people I know like this.

I don't do it on purpose but yeah. Usually with me it's because I'm either pissed off or can't be arsed getting into whatever it is I'm mad about.

I do it, but only when im trying to stop myself from saying something harsh to the other person..and that's only if the incident that caused me to become silent for the moment wasn't too serious

" is like they secretly like being treat like dirt, in the hope they can triumph through adversity.
To some degree anyways."

Some people might use the silent treatment as avoidance, if you don't talk about the problem it's not really there, like the 'outta sight outta mind' logic. Of course whatever's bothering you is still probably festering somewhere in your noggin, but that keeps therapists employed 🙂

Very true!! That is why I alway confront whom hurt me with what they did moments later. I think for me it is Aries moon. I believe our variances of silent treatment inspired by moon sign because it is our emotional side. Once I let go, I let go.

This topic so intersting. I was dating this pisces last year, that relationship never worked out because of bad conflict resolution (also ask's self .....why do I keep trying the pisces / pisces combo— IT NEVER WORKS!!) So we tried being friends in the spring after he broke it off with me and went back to the ex-gf which also did not workout. I accepted him back into my life this past spring which again lead to disaster. We both went our seperate ways with ceasing all communication. So with my silent treatment I made a decision that this type of friendship was pretty toxic and finally came to terms that it was done, finis, over, and no going back. The friendships goes great for a while but to be honest he is worse than a woman when he gets angry. So he goes on his merry way starts dating another girl, well of course it did not workout so he tries to come back to me as of yesterday after months. So he uses his silent treatment as punishment and than tries to come back. Well he was foolish to do so, because I gave him the permenant ax. As I told him, I did not miss his drama, or his type of friendship. You may fool me once but not twice I don't have a vacany sign that says stop here and stomp on doormat please.

So in my opinion there are variances of silent treatment. I don't use for any manipulation whatsoever. I use the time to contemplate your worthieness in my life and also to reflect on what you mean to me emotionally....meaning how the relationship makes me feel. I do my best to keep as many toxic people at bay as possible.

that's why more people should just run their mouth and see what happens.

lol

from my experience, people who always quick to say something usually be the biggest pussies..

I'm not a Pisces, but I do this both online and offline. It's great! For the sake of not wasting my time responding to petty people or saying something mean, I will just ignore them as if they didn't exist. Saves a lot of headaches.
