Alena B. (EII) - Silent Treatment

If someone hurts me or my loved ones deliberately and knowingly, I will show my attitude when the time comes or say something in a way they’ll understand. But I won’t start a fight unless it’s a truly exceptional situation. I distance myself from such not-very-reliable people: keep my interactions short, stay uninterested both in personal contact (if unavoidable) and in any other way, or I stop communicating altogether—walk past them as if they were an empty space.
