Narcissists give you the silent treatment when THEY have hurt you and YOU refuse to apologize.
-
Stay strong everybody and move on

Love the silent treatment from a narcissist. Sometimes the trash takes itself out.
-
Yesterday made 1 month of the silent treatment. It’s never gone this long because usually I’d apologize…but honey he can have it this time. I’m sick of it, sick of him, sick of life around him. His whole family is toxic and weird. He has taught me throughout this entire relationship how to live alone…I’ve started planning my exit.

Silent treatment from a narcissist is a relief. A gift.
-
There’s a story. A husband was giving his wife the silent treatment. He wrote her a note and put it on her night stand, on her side of the bed. The note said wake me up at 5 a.m. The next morning, the husband woke at 9 a.m. His wife was not in the house. He saw a note on his night stand by his side of the bed. The note said, it’s 5 a.m. wake up.

There's no point in trying to force them to communicate. It just fuels them. They ENJOY watching you beg, suffer, go crazy.....
-
Once I realized that the narcissist enjoys my discomfort and I then realized there was nothing of value they provided to my life, it was easy to see the silent treatment as a blessing.
-
They give you the silent treatment when they are at fault or hurt you but don't want to apologize.
-
Being with a person who is unable to communicate is hell.
-
Month 7 of silent treatment, I am still standing strong
-
Reasons for narcissistic silent treatment: • Stonewalling • Gaslighting • Emotional immaturity • Lack of interpersonal skill • Victimhood • Dysregulation Reasons for a healthy-minded individual to give the silent treatment: • To establish a boundary after their boundaries have been continuously crossed. It's a last resort for someone who is emotionally capable and mature enough to communicate.

If they go silent then you go silent.........forever! Don't ever give them a 2nd chance.
-
They think that the silent treatment is a punishment, but it's a welcome relief, and shows how easy life without them will be.
-
They go MIA for hours to days with no communication and come back around like nothing happened.
-
I went 39 years thinking the silent treatment was normal for relationships. Mind blown.
-
They need to teach this in schools. The amount of damage emotional abuse causes is just so far-reaching. Love to anyone going through this. You're not alone.
-
The silent treatment is abuse and evil. It’s torture.
-
Narcissist hate the silent treatment too, when they see you accept the treatment and you go around being happy without making any contact to them, it just pisses them off even more because they expect you to make the effort to apologize or kiss their ass.
-
I think the best counter to this immature attitude is to adapt and play with the narcissist’s drama of silent treating them back but do it with grace and don’t let your inner peace be disturbed.
