silent treatment

Silent treatment is good when someone you often talk to answers in one syllable.

This book can tell you that.

Under the topic Raising Teens where the title goes Silence is Golden.
What you might not learn from the book going through it once is that the silent treatment should only be perform AFTER you've tried clearing things up with the other party. Because at times, things aren't just the way we assume it to be.

Your best buddy might have that evil sneer one his face and come out with snappy lines that pierce through your very soul; but the truth is, (though in our minds, it is most unlikely)
- he has a bad case of mimic-muscle-atrophy OR
- he's practising to audition as The Evil Witch in Hansel and Gretel OR
- simply that he had a bad day.

Sadly, some of us just have to come out with unreasonable (but in our minds, highly likeable), dramatic assumptions.

Which leads to the I'm-not-talking-to-you-till-you've-apologised syndrome.

And in the end, it'll either become a laughing stock between both of you OR ruin a perfectly-problem-free-if-we-had-placed-more-honesty kind of relationship. (Sorry for the many hyphens :P )

Lets embrace honesty and really, chop off those unnecessary egos. And you and I, we talk man to man. Or woman to woman. Stereotype ish. Person to person perhaps? ;)

So tell me, what did you actually meant when you told me I sound like your mother again?
(Only an example, it has no relation whatsoever to the dead and undead. HAHAHAHA.)

If we really can't make it, then learn to forgive and if you're really pissed, maybe you can warn the other party 3 times before you actually take other measures. Heh. :P

*And there's more to life when you start giving more and expect less. InsyaAllah.*
