The silent treatment and stonewalling are used to train and condition you into working harder for the narcissist's approval. It is often used as an early test in the abuse cycle to see how you respond and react to their absence. While you overexert yourself attempting to regain the honeymoon phase of the relationship, they withdraw their efforts and are still able to reap the same rewards. Do not reward their silence with more effort. Instead, use their silence as a period of self-care and detachment as you heal from the trauma bond. by Shahida Arabi. ©KhaultiSyahi #MainAurChaand #Brahmamuhurat 4:34 AM #narcissistic #narcissist #khaultisyahi #lifeexperience #Toxic #toxicpeople #toxicrelationships #fuckfamily
