    Silent treatment is about as loud a statement that can be made by people trying to convey something to someone.  Listen to it and learn.  It's meaning is even louder.

    Enjoy it! It means nobody is hassling you at the moment.

    Arghhh I hate the silent treatment! For minutes I would call out my moms name and she would completely ignore me and continue what she as doing as if I wasn't there. It's quite literally like talking to a brick wall, just as my Dad always said. Now as an adult I sometimes do the same but I at least answer before it becomes a minute.

    Don't allow the intended guilt trip to affect you. Go do something you like to do.

    Due to my Alien Identity I am not having friends in the human realm, so it works out to my benefit because I still get all the luxuries in life, and maybe more...
