Stop Talking To Someone

The only time I will stop talking to someone for days is when someone has hurt me beyond imagine. I just wait and let them realize how much they have hurt me and should be sorry for it.

Hi, Natalia! I've stopped talking to people for quite a long time. Some have been entirely removed from my ife, and I don't talk to them at all, ever again. I think we have to remove the toxic people from our lives if we are to survive well.

Yes, I've done this and I believe it's the best response to being treated badly by a friend or relative. Seeking to hurt that person back only makes things worse. When I have stopped talking to someone who has hurt or upset me in the past...for instance my husband or my best friend...they usually notice and while trying to figure out why, realize what they did. The only person I have asked to stop talking to me is my ex-husband. We had a decent relationship, he's known my current husband for years, but the last time we talked he was over-reacting to something our (grown) son had done and I pointed out to him that he was seriously over-reacting. He had been drinking and became immediately ugly so I told him that the conversation was over and to not call my house again.

I also become quiet when someone hurts me or ignores me. Yes i have stopped talking to someone and it can be for as long as it needs to be.. There is someone that should be very close to me but is not.. my mother.. I keep quiet I do not say much of anything to her anymore.. Its not worth getting hurt. If that person in your life can not repect you then its good to keep your distance. I have a very wise person tell me its better to keep quiet then run your mouth and have words that are untrue come out. You are the judge when its time to talk to this person, and if the time never araises, well it just wasnt meant to be. On the other hand I have had people that quit talking to me. Its just enough to drive someone up the wall. No knowing what the other person is thinking. Not recieving any hints to what I can do to change the current situation. But finding out later that the words I wanted to say would have been wrong.. Time and space were needed at that point in time. Some times things just have to be left alone, and if what you want happens to come along great, if not then well, i guess it wasnt suppose to happen that way.
