There is a particular kind of loneliness that comes from being in the same room as someone who refuses to speak to you. This silence isn’t about needing space or calming down. It’s a message that you are the problem. Used repeatedly, silence becomes a tool of control, erasing your reality, conditioning your behaviour, and forcing you to carry emotional responsibility for the other.
