I am aware that you have the intention of penning a lengthy and involved message in which you detail the specific reasons why you are frustrated with the other individual. I am aware that you have the need to confront them in person and yell at them about how you can't comprehend what they have done to you. I am aware of the fact that you have the want to cut their tires, throw a drink at their face, and sleep with their closest friend. I am well aware of your desire for some form of retribution, some form of resolution, and some form of an outlet for your rage.
When you're already riled up, this is usually the last thing you want to hear, but there are occasions when remaining silent is the most effective form of retaliation.
Your lack of response says more than you realize. It demonstrates to them that you are out of breath and can no longer waste your time on them. You are unable to give them any more of your time at this point. You can no longer have any further contact with them in any way.
You can simply avoid injuring your throat by yelling or your fist by striking a wall by blocking their number, deleting them from your social media accounts, and throwing all of their images into your digital trashcan instead of either of those options. Simply by pressing a button, you will be able to remove them from your environment.
It might not be as exciting as you were hoping. It is possible that it does not sound satisfying. However, there are occasions when remaining silent is the best option for your wellbeing. If you give in to the want to shout, fight, and curse them out in order to get them to leave you alone, it may feel wonderful in the moment, but the sensation probably won't last. In the end, you will still feel upset about it. You won't feel as like you've cleared everything off your chest even after doing so. You won't feel any better about the situation.
Getting into a fight with a poisonous person won't accomplish anything positive. You won't be able to make them feel worse, and you won't be able to improve how you feel about yourself by doing this. You are only going to make things more stressful for yourself. Getting rid of that source of anxiety should be your top priority. Put your hands down and let go of it. Come to the conclusion that you've had enough of the drama. Come to the conclusion that this person is not worth your time and effort.
Sometimes remaining silent is the most effective form of retaliation. They will suffer more pain as a result of seeing you vanish from the face of the earth than they would have from hearing anything you might have uttered to them. They are likely to be curious in how you have been doing recently. They are going to be curious as to what is going through your head. They are going to be perplexed as to what you have been up to. They are going to wear out under the pressure of the queries.
The decision to keep quiet does not automatically label one as a coward. It brings about a maturing effect. It makes you intelligent enough to understand when it is time to remove yourself from a precarious circumstance. Taking the moral high ground does not always require one to put on a phony grin and graciously accept apologies. It implies cutting ties with a toxic person from your past so you don't have to engage in pointless conflict with them in the future.
Your lack of speech has significance. It demonstrates to them that you do not care about them to the extent that you are willing to raise the tone or point the middle finger at them. It demonstrates to them that you have more pressing concerns than whatsoever drama they are attempting to make in your life.
Sometimes remaining silent is the most effective form of retaliation. You should use the block button on sometimes so that you don't have to keep having the same debate over and over again. You need to get rid of everyone in your life who has a poisonous heart.
