When you give the silent treatment or retreat to your corner, what does it usually mean for the relationship with the person you're giving the silent treatment to?
details
As a Taurus, the silent treatment means that I am pissed off at you and need time to reflect. This can be a bad thing, depending on how long the silent treatment goes. The bad thing can mean that the relationship can be ending for the Taurus. Damage on arguing could have been very personal. Give the Taurus time to cool down and reflect and let him come to you.
What happended before the silent treatment?
details
I don't do the silent treatment in relationships or ever really. I guess I do withdraw (one words answers, not making an effort to communicate) but if he's making an effort to reach out to me, I would never just flat out ignore him. Withdrawing for me means the usual stuff- You hurt me or angered me. I don't like the energy depleted from playing games. And the silent treatment seems more like a concentrated effort to make someone feel bad and less of a natural reaction to slights.
I do have a shell that I retreat to. If I'm reached out to, I'll come out, give my cold, monosyllabic answers and return to my shell.
details
Actually I have given the silent treatment before. But by that point the relationship was long over and I had no interest in "fixing" it.
details
depends, did you piss me off?
details
same here. for me it depends on how mad i am. If it's for a few days then i'm probably just upset, need breathing room and i need to teach you lesson. If it's longer than a week, then that's a clear sign that our relationship (friendship or whatever) has run its course and I am no longer interested in keeping the lines of communication open.

Retreating or silent treatment isn't a good sign with me. I'm usually an over-communicator. I will bend over backwards trying to make something work - even when there are problems (especially if I feel at all guilty). If I'm not talking anymore it usually means I'm done...or on my way there.

What happened before the silent treatment?


I agree, if the silent treatment goes on for awhile (meaning several days or weeks), that does not bode well for the recipient on the other end of that silent treatment.

From what ive seen, usually it means they'll never forgive you for as long as you live. Taurus people take a lot to get to the point, but when they do, you're out of their life for good.

Yeppers. It takes a Taurean a LONG time to get to that point, as we are so hard on ourselves that we know (painfully well) that nobody is perfect; therefore we give people a LOT of latitude if they are friends, family or lovers. BUT, with that being said, once it??s over (typically) it is ovah??. Also, the silent treatment usually doesn??t work on us (usually being the operative word). My ex-fiance?? the Libra, used to HATE when I gave him the silent treatment, which didn??t happen very often. Also, I think with Taureans (again, generalizing), we know that once you say something, you can??t take it back; therefore, we try to be conscientious of what we allow to flow from our mouths????_in my experience anyway. I typically refrain from giving unsolicited advice, AND, when I do (usually this is what I ask my girlfriends since they tend to be uber sensitive), I always ask, ???Do you want me to sugar coat it, or tell it to you raw??? I don??t like people pussyfooting around me, but a lot of people can??t handle the truth.

My girl taurus has also given silent treatment, ours was a distant relationship, and she was from a muslim conservative family i a buddhist, non muslim. After a long silence i accidently called her father, and her father beat her up, relationship got brokedwn but phone was open later again to ask help called a fb friend found to be her ex now totally screwd up..and she chnged her number, it was all happened by accident, not intentional as i got impatientnce of her silence, though on a phone after long day she recieved giggling just b4 the things happened but i wasnt convinced as the talk was short lived. Now i dnt know wht will happen but i want her back... could u plz guide me ,i can send a friend request to her again..with another id..or should i wait will she understand tht being silent made me crazy,, and should applogise.. but we exchnged hot talks over phone though. but later i appologised 4 my rough behavious now the phone number too chnged.

my taurus man and i are going through the silent treatment right now ( i am a libra) we were together for a year everything was great stupid little fights here and their but nothing major we broke up 3 days before our anniversary he said he was not happy with me and is still not happy because we have to be apart he said he love me but did not think he was IN love with me anymore but i didn nothing wrong! im so confused by him as he is now not answering my calls or replying to my texts1.... im my opinion i think taurus people can be quite self centered and they retreat to silence to hurt us even more like maybe thtas just a way of them trying to show us how hurt they are but personally from my own experience i think you should just leave him alone for a while and wait and see if he comes back.
details
I am pretty black and white. People always can tell where they stand with me. If I am ignoring you, there is a reason. Annoyed, feelings hurt, something more important than you is taking up my time. None of which is positive. Can be seen as passive agressive, but I know myself well enough to know when i need space or else I will behave in a way that doesnt communicate exactly how I want to. I take my time. And If I feel rushed or backed into a corner and am being forced into communicating before I am ready...I will dig in my heals and be done with the entire thing.
details
I have venus and mars in Taurus, Gemini sun, but when I do the silent treatment when I'm really pissed off, yeah stay the hell away from me.
details
The problem with silent treatment is usually the person on the receiveing end is not aware of why they are being given it - and if its an ongoing reaction to hurts or disappointments in the recipients behaviour, of which they are unaware, then this will chip away at that person until silent treatment incidents can no longer be tolerated. Isn't communication of a different form preferable?
details
eh^ Tongue
personally, i dont give multiple silent treatments. if i go quiet, it's either because i'm self-involved or done with you. in either case, the length of the treatment is what could be hurtful...not the frequency.
details
True, True, however both lengthy and frequent can be devastating, most especially when its unknown why.
details
^my comment was specifically about taurus. i think that taurean silence is not typically a frequent occurrence and if it is, the person probably has an afflicted chart...maybe some sprinkles of virgo or some other begrudging sign.
details
we just occasionally marinate in our own time zone, which may be mistaken as the dreaded silent treatment. Sometimes, it takes quite a while to digest. Fibrous introspection, emotional dischord, or just plain lazyness. WE need it. Or we're fucking pissed at you.
details
The longer it goes on...the worse it is that the relationship (whatever type) is no longer one in which I feel is worth investing my time.
It really irritates me further, when the receiver gets ?_ber needy and demands to talk because they feel the lack of communication is immature. What IS immature, is assuming things.

Agree with emerald here.
It frustrates me even more when people push the boundaries and impose their need to headbutt through the problem/issue/argument.
Sometimes I just need to have the silence and space to reflect without running my mouth first. If the other person can't respect that and assume that the best thing to do is see who can shout the loudest, that silent treatment can be drawn out A LOT longer.

Ok so what about the people who don't do anything wrong and gets the magical disappearing acts? I know the silent treatments can mean anything and depends on the relationship and the both parties involved, but a lot are saying that usually that happens when your pissed off. I recently have been dealing with a taurus man who did that to me and had me thinking damn what the hell did I do to deserve this.. I gave that man everything and gave him his space when needed. I miss himlike crazy but I don't think its fair to be treated like that.
details
Here's a thought...if we happen to be interacting with someone who naturally can be distant at times (which may feel like our silent treatment) how do you deal with it? It makes me feel like something is very wrong, lol. I tend to go into over-thinking mode and worry. I don't usually relax until I've learned that the other party is just naturally that way. *cough cough...Scorps...cough cough* _??

I can't speak for anyone but myself, but it can be one of a couple things:
1. Communication does tend to start out at a higher frequency and peters out to something more manageable for all parties (in this situation, I see them as strictly friends).
2. I'm not interested (I can tell if there is an attraction fairly quickly and just don't want to waste anyone's time).
3. Something is taking a much higher priority (this would have to be something HUGE...ie an emergency, death, etc).

Hmm my 2 cents and this is just me.
My silent treatment doesn't happen that often, especially without reason. If I do a disappearing act (and if it seems unwarranted), there are a couple of things that's going through my head. When I say you - I'm just speaking generally.
1) I need head space - this is just for me, it's not a reflection on you per se. I just need alone time to hibernate, especially if I am going through something (emotional or mental blockage/ in need of breathing space). This happens to me a lot, I need time for me when I feel jaded.. I'm usually very social, so when/if I'm not in contact with you, then it's because of me. Not you. In time, once I'm ready to get out of my rut, I'll reach out to you. I will explain in my own time. I have gone months without speaking to some of my closest friends because I wasn't ready to open up and deal with my situation and I don't like burdening others with my crap. If I am not talking to you, it is because I want to be my happy-go-lucky self when I do, because really who wants to converse with a misery guts. I am aware of it, so I don't want to dampen someone else's mood with my woe-is-me sentiments.
2) If I do disappear without reaching out at least once - then yes, you've done something to hurt me. Hurt my pride, my trust, feelings. You may be unaware of it, so I am giving you and me some time to reflect. Often, I evaluate if I am being over sensitive or if I am overreacting. Sometimes I wait it out to see if you'll offer a gesture to show you care enough. If you care enough and reach out, then to me it's like redemption and all is forgiven and if I feel I have misjudged the situation or treated you unfairly, I have no qualms about apologizing. I know I'm weird like that.
3) I'm just not interested and I just don't care. This is probably t
details
3) I'm just not interested and I just don't care. This is probably the worst trait I have (I am not proud of it). Basically it boils down to the fact that I don't care enough (only happens with acquaintances as I would never treat friends this way). With strangers/hook ups, I can be fickle. It could be because we haven't built enough of a bond. If I am not seeing what I look for, my search will continue. It's not you, it's me. It really is. It can be as simple as you doing something that subconsciously rubbed me the wrong way and I may not even know it until much later. But something will trigger my disinterest and I will become non responsive and lazy in my communication until you get the hint and give up. I won't bother to reply because you just don't mean that much to me and my time can be put into loving the people that I do indeed care about and want in my life. Worse is if I am bored, then boredom will trigger communication again, it will be fun and refreshing for a little while then I will realize that we are still incompatible and the cycle will go on until you take yourself out of it. Why does it happen? because I know I can and because you let me. - harsh? maybe but truthful.
details
Nothing against you.. We all have our bad traits but for me I personally would rather have the cold hard TRUTH. Why beat around the bush be upfront and foward. If your not intoo somebody and not feeling them as much just tell them. Ignoring somebody and waiting for them to get the hint probaly hurts more than just telling them. I pesonally weather it be hookups aquaintances or whatever.. If I don't feel you in anyway I'm going to tell you straight up and face to face.. The silent treatment in my opinion is the cowards way out. Be real. I have said this before I wait a week maybe 2 the least if I don't get no feed back then I move on...yes sometimes there is that somebody that is hard to forget(like my dude that I was dating for months) but then I'm reminded of this treatment this disappearance with no real explanation and I realize that I deserve better. NOBODY should deserve this type of treatment but then agaoin everybody should always be prepared for dissapointment because its bound to happen.
details
I'll reiterate that No. 3 is really not something I'm proud of, but that's just where my head's at and it does happen from time to time. Not out of malice. Not everyone reacts the same way and not everyone takes 'no' for an answer as easily, subtle or otherwise. So if you want let me do it and keep coming back for more when it's evident and fairly obvious I don't really care and I'm not that interested, then yes. that's the silent treatment you will get (and I am just pointing out my personal reasoning behind that type of treatment, as you did pose a question about that).
I've been at the butt end of that butter and it took me a while to get over some people because I wanted to believe that if I'm in the picture something will come out of it. I always thought it was about accessibility, so the silent treatment (in my opinion) shuts out that accessibility. I'm not saying it's the right thing to do but it's something that inevitably happens.
Hmm I'm sidetracking but yes, someone wise once said (along the lines of..) if you're not right for them then it means they're not right for you, which makes you both automatically incompatible.
So, you are right. You DO deserve better.

I believe this is what happened with the Taurus I was friends with. I can honestly agree and say that the silent treatment wasnt a frequent "go to" move of his, so I dont think it was game playing. From what I notice, if they do go there its because they are hurt.
My sisters Taurus did it once saying he was going to "fall back" and he stopped calling and was ignoring her calls/texts. She was upset, but she extended herself by going over his house and all was forgiven, which shocked me because i assumed he would hold a grudge. That was the first time he'd done that in 3yrs.

We also do the silent treatment by accident because we're people that need alone time/quiet time. We need to recharge so we can go out and be social etc.. once more. It's not a reflection of you it's just something we do. He'll come around if he still wants to be with you. Also when we're dealing with problems we can get distant until we figure everything out.

Yeppers. People just don't understand that we are not those who generally run around complaining about our ish. We internalize a lot and work through things on our OWN.
details
Ok, strictly speaking for me. I believe that most Taureans realize the power of words. Despite the saying, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." We know that's complete B.S. Words sting, and they are lasting. Once something is spoken, it can NOT be taken back. With that being said, if I give someone the silent treatment, I am sitting on myself not to say something that I may regret, because rest assured, once I start just firing my mouth off and saying whatever I think, it means the end is nye! Once it's stated, it's over, there is rarely any turning back. If I sit on myself and bite my tongue, and retreat into myself, that means I still value the relationship and am just thinking about everything before I state what I am feeling/thinking. As many Tau's have posted, we really prefer not to have a lot of strife in our relationships, and if we feel like someone is constantly pushing us into a corner; rest assured, we won't let it go on indefinitely.
We are an understanding bunch and we let a lot of stuff just slide off our backs; especially if we love you. We will give you EVERY benefit of the doubt (sometimes to our own detriment, because we have been known to make excuses for poor behavior if it's someone we love). With that being said, I think a lot of threads have depicted this. If we are done. We are done. We can unleash some of the most vile, hateful things imaginable; hence the reason we truly try not to do that, because we know once that's done, there is NO going back. It's completely over. I'm speaking from my personal experiences. While it's a rarity, it's happened, and I've written people off. And, unlike some other signs, we typically don't dwell on the past. Once you are out of our lives, you are but a small blip on our radar, likely never to really be thought about again. I know that once I stop talking to someone, I don't need to know anything about them, nor do I care. I don't wish them ill will, but I also don't giving a flying fig what they are doing either. I have a lot of girlfriends who will be the initiators of the breakups, and then they'll sit crying for weeks, months, sometimes even years on end wondering what that person is doing. Nope, not me, once it's done, it's done.

Tell me about it. So many times I just walk away and shut up rather than to insult the living daylights out of someone who just pissed me off because they're my friend or whatever and I don't want to start anything. Then when I take weeks and weeks to respond to any messages they send me they get all irritated and I'm like dude I'm upset with you hello. Would you rather I go all charging bull on you ijs.

@Harry99, they just don't understand. People, in general, communicate in different ways. For a person who is confrontational and is quick to get angry, but just as quick to forget; our communication style drives them up the wall. My ex-Fiance the Libra, could get angry about something, and the next minute, he wouldn't even really remember why he was mad. If we got into a fight (which was a rarity), more often than not, I was the one who would say that I needed to distance myself, and "sleep on it." So as not to get into an argument. Some people like the cussing, screaming, tantrums, and such. That's their modus operandi, and they like it like that. One thing he and I both agreed on was not airing our "dirty laundry" in the streets. We would not argue in public. We were both horrified when we'd be at parties/restaurants, etc and people would get into shouting matches with one another. That is completely not cool with me, and you will see me head for the hills if you ever tried to show me out in public.

Your right I don't understand the communicating ways of a taurus. I totally understand needing to deal with stuff on your own.. Trust me I usually distant myself when I'm having issues, but only to an extent. Yes I have problems that I deal with but in no way do I ignore those who are special and close to me. I don't involve them with what I'm dealing with, but still keep contact. I certainly wouldn't ignore somebody for weeks at a time just because of my issues.. But I guess everybody deals with stuff differently..if thats how you deal then do your thing.. But I'm sure you lose a lot of good people. I'm referring to thos people who don't get the bull mad because I have a friend whos a taurus and the other day I seen him charge at somebody and it was not pretty.
In dealing with this recently, I'm learning that if somebody gives u the silent treatment its better to just move on.. Don't hold on to something that isn't sincere or isn't meant to be.. Easier to prevent from getting more hurt than u aready are. Just look at it as an opportunity to open your door to something new. It has for me smile

Can I point out that if the other person does not know (has never seen you or expierenced this) from you before, and all of a sudden you retreat and have no contact with them, without a word (no pun intended) ...after a quarrel, tiff, misunderstanding, lack of communication, or whatever the case may be. That disappointment, hurt, confusion, being let down will creep up with the person who is seeing this for the first time, from you? I am not saying that everyone does not need any sort of space, time and again, but to do this and ignore the other person who also has feelings as you do(it has been pointed out on the boards you are hurt/pissed so that is why you retreat-both are emotions/feelings)is harsh. Ecspecially when things were going wonderfully in the first place!!
Just a thought that occured to me...as the first time the Taur retreated into his head (and basically abandoned me)by not contacting me, but then expected to pick up where we left off without an explanation, nor any reasoning as to why we should try again. It is as if nothing happened!
How can anyone treat another they "love" this way? To me it is baffaling. I am not bashing Taur's (I am still very much in love with mine). I am just trying to make sense of it. :0

Beleive you me, you are not the only one. I am slowly and I mean slowly learning all there is to know about Taur's. I am in love with one (an ex now) and it will be 4 weeks next Friday since we have had contact. COMPLETE contact. I actually stopped by his house last night, brought memories (long story). It was a peaceful conversation, me just letting him know I am here and hope he is well. smile
But, that is it. You don't push, they push harder by giving you the silent treatment. You just take care of YOU and like ALL the Taur's and non Taur's on the boards, if they like/love you, they will be around you. smile
Hope this helps!

good luck to both of you. wish you the best.. Its been about 2 months since I last heard from my taurus dude and I have to say that I miss him. I am still a little confused as to why he completely removed me from his life, but i can not control that. Just have to keep doing me and live my life as I was before him. I been on a few dates here and there but its just not the same am not feeling it.

You apologize and you give them all the space they need and still they continue to give the silent treatment then what to do... Totally CLUE LESS !!!!

when you say "All the space" could you explain in detail.. Taurus has to be assured that we still care.. So i send mails.. once in two days.. Apart from that i dont try to call him or text him.. So should i stop sending mails..?

I am still pining for my Taurus..I sent him an email about 3 weeks ago and I have yet to hear from him.. it just kills me to think that maybe I wasn't as special to him as he was to me. I thnk about him almost everyday. Sad
I was always supportive and understanding to his needs and I respected that he wasn't ready. It just hurts.. I am still hurt.

Having a bout of insomnia..
So I couldn't help myself I sent a simple text to my taurus and he responded! It just made my day and it was suttle just a hello how you doing hope things are well and great to hear from you. I didnnt get much into detail as far as when I will see him again. Just asked that he keep in touch and if he ever needs a friend to turn to I'm here for him. I don't want to ppush him into anything just letting him know that I'm still here. I am being extremely patient andd strong about our situation and hoping for the best.

I've never done the silent treatment or withdrawn with the goal of being hurtful. It was always about me and my emotions. It's never been to be vindictive. If the silent treatment drives you crazy and you "submit", that's all you. From my perspective that is you reacting to his behavior, not him changing his behavior to get you to react.

Besides anger, my silent treatment may be because I need to be alone with my emotions and escape. I've done it when a person or situation has become emottionally draining.
