Stop Using Silence as a Weapon.
Silent treatment does not make you mature.
Ghosting does not make you smart.
Blocking someone in a relationship because you’re upset does not make you powerful.
It just makes you emotionally lazy.
This generation needs to stop romanticizing immature avoidance.
The silent treatment won’t solve what you’re refusing to talk about.
Withholding communication doesn’t make you deep. It makes you emotionally unavailable.
You’re not being “wise” or “calm.” You’re being avoidant.
You fight with your partner, and the first thing you do is disappear?
You call it “giving space,” but it’s really emotional punishment.
If something is hurting you, say it.
If you feel misunderstood, explain it.
If you’re tired of the relationship, leave it.
You’re not punishing them you’re breaking them slowly.
And the worst part? You’ll come back when they finally start healing and say, “I just needed time.”
No. You needed communication skills.
Stop using silence as a weapon.
Stop acting like going mute makes you powerful. It makes you toxic. It’s not strength it’s avoidance dressed up in pride.
If you can’t talk about it, don’t stay in it.
And if you choose to stay, then open your mouth and talk.
Because silence has never healed anything but it has destroyed many beautiful relationships.
Na everything Dey go tell una?
