Funny how nobody’s talking about the actual data behind this claim. Sure, silence can be toxic, but is it *more* destructive than hurtful words? The sources here hint at emotional abuse cycles and control tactics, but none directly compare the two. The Reddit thread calls silent treatment a form of abuse, while other posts frame silence as a fear-driven avoidance. But where’s the empirical evidence? Most of this feels like anecdotal reinforcement of a popular narrative. Maybe the real issue isn’t silence vs. words, but power dynamics—like who’s allowed to be angry, and who’s punished for staying quiet. Follow the money: who benefits from framing communication as a binary?
