ive done it before when i was young and stupid, i thought it was easlier to ignore someone then to face them and tell them its over then, have all the questions...

its not a nice thing to do to someone... but your better of out of it now

Erm I often use the silent treatment when I'm sick of arguing I go daaaays not saying anything, I know I shouldn't though. But sometimes you have to be silent 'cause it makes people feel kinda guilty and actually start to think about what they're doing.. Although it IS sorta mean

I'm going through the same thing at the moment! Its horrible! Cant even work out why she is doing it!

Although we never, ever learn when it comes to this, just try and forget 'em.

If they haven't got the bottle to face you then really, are they worth your time anyway?

I agree with noheartsing. If she doesn't want to be friends she should tell you.

Personally, I do give people the silent treatment, but I've either told them quite clearly on previous occasions to leave me alone.

Or there is one mate I do it to sometimes, but it's normally a "I'm very angry and I might say something I regret" kinda thing.

I'm crap at the silent treatment .. I talk to much and cant keep quiet

is it just me ..... but i cant read scotties posts??? just coming up blank

The bastard silly me lol

two fingered emoticon to you

I used to do the silent treatment as a final way to break the last ties with a very persistent partner/girlfriend but always end up worrying about 'her' and if 'she's' OK and breaking the silence. I'm such a softie.

I've been lucky with the last 2 relationships and not had to do the silent treatment thing, as we're still friends. And I've gotten very good at listening too, apparently.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who has been getting the silent treatment. I was seeing a guy for a few weeks during the summer...one minute he's practically Mr.Clingy - calling and texting every other day, the next minute he goes all quiet and I don't hear from him. Which is rather rude and annoying to say the least.

i personally think using the silent treatment is very childish and very annoying i would sooner date a squid than date somebody who will use this form of manipulation in a relationship.
