Being a rather talkative and outgoing person myself , I just can't wrap my brain around the behavior I've encountered too often from onetime friends: the 'silent treatment'---you know, where you apparently cease to exist as far as that person is concerned...so, I decided to educate myself on the subject, and did a little research online:
The 'silent treatment' is employed by someone who is emotionally immature (after all, mature adults are at least willing to talk something out)...it is either an attempt by the 'perpetrator' to give themselves 'power' ( attempting to make the 'victim' feel smaller and insignificant) , or it's a mistaken attempt at self-preservation. Essentially, it is a form of mental abuse.
