Do you feel punished

Sometimes it's best to say nothing if you think you're so angry or hurt that you might say something awful. Words are loaded pistols!

Ah the 'joys' of Facebook.

I think it is nothing less than childish behaviour to set out to 'blank' somebody. but then, a lot of FB behaviour falls into that category, so I am more and more inclined to have nothing to do with it.

In 'real life' this is beyond my experience. I think it would trouble me because I find conflict difficult and would want to 'fix' whatever the perceived problem was. It would not be about winning a point for me, but I guess for some it may be.

I think it very sad when families have irreparable rifts that result in silence.

I think it is somehow emotionally deficient to retreat to silence - unless you have been very hurt and have learned by experience that the situation would not change by trying to re-engage.

I was reading a post on Facebook called ' I love it when people think they're going to punish me by not talking to me ' The answers made interesting reading.

If someone decides to blank me, I would be like: thank goodness I hope they feel like that forever. I might wonder what deed I did to upset them though. Sometimes it's friends or family members that stop speaking to you. I have a neighbour who does just that and I couldn't care less, in fact it's quiet funny to me.
