    When someone doesn't speak and essentially ignores you.

    Is that a form of abuse?


    No, thats the complete opposite imo. It's like refraining from all verbal or physical contact. Its the most passive thing a person could do.

    Many phrases teachers and parents teach their kids developed from this. Like silence is the golden rule, or if you don't have anything nice to say then say nothing.

    Silent treatment mostly hurts the arrogant or narcissistic. Because they need the last word so bad that the silent treatment feels like abuse to them. I might be wrong on this one, and open for debate.
