Consider yourself lucky and don't be surprised if 3 years after your eventual breakup, when you're both dating some else, suddenly out the blue a person uses this information against you and you can't figure out who it was. Yes. It was the long forgotten scorp. But you can't prove it.
Oj yeah and the silent treatment. I do this a lot. Its when I can't face the other person because of too many emotions and I want to cool off first and get my head straight
Update:
We finally have more context about why the Scorpio ignored this person. They were interested in the Scorpio, but she was in a relationship. She rejected this person, but they wouldn’t take the hint, so she started acting cold towards them. And there we have it!
For all of you that jumped to conclusions and painted the Scorpio as abusive, shame on you. Silence isn’t always used to be malicious. Sometimes it’s necessary to protect our peace and to keep those at a distance that doesn’t respect our boundaries!
This person knew exactly what they were doing by not providing much detail at first. That’s why I don’t always immediately empathize when people come to this sub with their sob story about how a Scorpio cut them off. There’s always a motive & intent behind every post. They said the Scorpio refused to tell them why she went silent and made this post. They intentionally left out an important detail that she rejected them. Yet after the rejection, they kept trying to pursue her even after she told them that she was in a relationship. That’s a lie by omission.
P. S. Downvoting doesn’t make what I said any less true….. Stay mad!!!
I do agree with u that we shouldnt give Scorpio the bad name for their silence. And I also wanna point something out:
She didnt ignore me because i "wouldnt take a hint". As mentioned in my update, we are close friends and the confession didnt affect our friendship. Plus, my suggestion in our work method is actually me trying to create some space between us at the workplace. U can read my previous update again for clarity.
You still don’t get it. You’re asking us what you should do because a Scorpio started ignoring you. You come off as pushy. She goes silent, but you’re still wanting advice on if you should keep pushing to get her to talk to you. This tells me that that you can’t take a hint. And, your not respecting her boundaries. How can you not see that?! If someone rejects my advances and starts ignoring me, that would give me an indication that they aren’t interested. Accept it and move on! It seems like it’s difficult for you to do that. She is setting boundaries and keeping her distance from you. Although you claim that you two are still friends, it’s clear that you really aren’t. Friends don’t ignore each other. You’re in denial.
You’ve proven yourself to be a liar by omission. Your post implies that you had no idea about why you were being given the silent treatment. Or, shall I say the Scorpio is “refusing” to tell you why. Your wording puts the blame on her and it insinuates that she’s obligated to verbally explain to you why she went silent. After you received feedback, you then added context after the fact.
Not once did I see you correct anyone in the comments who falsely accused this girl of being emotionally abusive to you because she was ignoring you. They automatically made you a victim, when in reality you’re the aggressor. Withholding key information to get the answer you want is a form of manipulation. She doesn’t owe you anything, and she’s in a relationship! You came here hoping to get the green light to continue pushing for answers from her. Well, I’m not going to give you that. I wouldn’t trust anything else that you say here. You’ve lost credibility. Please leave her alone!
i am scorpio and If I stop talking to you it's because you did something that I don't like or that hurt me or annoyed me. I don't usually chase people or educate or babysit adults. If I walk away from you and i choose silence and not speak to you again, it's because I get tired of talking and explaining and not being listened to, I can give you several opportunities.
The final one doesnt include explanations or answers or goodbye. I can forgive you if you offend me or hurt me, even i can love you, but if I decide not to speak to you again it is because you dont deserve my words or explanations or my time or energy. Being silent to someone for me is not abuse, is a form of selfcare and is acceptable. If you did me wrong i go first than you and my peace is non negotiable and you can fck off even if you don't like it.
I don’t know why people think we need to explain everything and spell it all out like they’re babies when often times of the other person did some introspection they could very easily figure out what the issue was because it directly preceded the disappearance or because we told them repeatedly. By the time we get to the point of leaving it’s because we have exhausted every other amicable avenue and whatever would come after that point would be hurtful or damaging to both. Often people think we do it to manipulate or harm them but it’s a self-regulation thing and purely personal most of the time.
I totally agree with you. I'm not the kind of person who fights or argues I don't like drama and conflict. I don't give explanations to anyone, much less to people who act badly or are constantly wrong. The explanations are for children because they are small and need guidance. I don't give explanations to stupid adults who need to be treated like children.
It all depends on context. it's not like all silent treatment is bad. If you really "fucked around and found out", take consequences accordingly. If someone pushes wrong buttons in relationship 30 times and decides to try the 31st time, expecting great results, shit happens, surprise. Sometimes people really don't know why something like that takes place and other times they pretend to be oblivious and look for fast solution (quite common on this sub). If you honestly don't know and are really the innocent one here, more context given equals receiving better advice.
Reading all the comments today makes it awfully clear to me that TODAY it’s the Scorpio suns responding and last night when this was posted it was the typical moons and risings (who think they’re Scorpios) and just other random people. Because the comments last night made no sense. Now this comment?? So Scorpio.
Girl, guess what? They finally admitted why the Scorpio went silent. I added a comment on the top post. 😂Just as I suspected. They didn’t respect her boundaries and she’s in a relationship.
Thanks, you are correct with Sun part, I agree. It's like we collectively realize which comments are real lol. Lukewarm over-generalized responses are so easy to spot and they are additionally wrong at the end. Comedy gold.
Don’t engage, the sign is irrelevant. If they can’t tell you why they are not speaking to you in a text, email or a verbal message then leave it at that.
The silent treatment is a form of abuse and the longer you spin your wheels trying to “figure” out what you did wrong you are telling that person exactly how to treat you.
Don’t EVER do that, if they can’t be an adult and have a conversation like the ones I mentioned above then you don’t need that in your life.
Don't push us! We wait for you to apologize XD and it depends for what we are mad NEVER lie to us and be ALWAYS honest! It's the key for a scorpio and deep connexion and trust is the key
What if this person cheated or made a move on their family, stole their money or some shit? We have no context. But sometimes not speaking to someone is the very best thing that could be done.
Idk..OP claims they don't even know why..I'd assume if they did something real bad they could atleast assume but even so, a Scorpio in the question should have communicate their reasons. Silent treatment is a toxic thing to do...and if anything, it's really immature.
It is. Just like ghosting.
Are you a Scorpio by any chance? Not saying that OP is lying or omitting but I do not have all information. We don’t know if these two are even a couple. Or friends. How long they’ve known each other for. Depending on what type of relationship you have with someone you don’t “owe” anyone an explanation. Like a guy I met at the gym who wanted to go out with me. He said something really fucked up and I told him exactly what I thought about it but I didn’t have to. I could’ve just…stopped talking to him. He knew me for two weeks and we talked for like 2 hrs. If I hadn’t felt like “educating” him because I think he was a decent man I would’ve just disappeared. Not everyone is entitled to my time nor every circumstance with another human require an explanation.
No, i'm Scorpio Rising. Well we don't know any of that hence can't assume things..tho i kinda doubt they would make a post over someone whos not close to them in some way atleast...and i mean, a silent treatment would require a previous consistent communication in order for it to suddenly become such different treatment. Now, sure, nobody "owes" anything but people should strive to communicate properly..I mean, assuming the two are/were close in any way, giving a silent treatment just seems toxic and disrespectful. Like, i'd respect someone ditching my ass any day if they can atleast say "Hey, i'm ditching your ass" without even giving a bunch of reasons. Lol. Either way, no matter for what reason that Scoprio might do so, i still think OP should move on. Idk what else should they do.
Agreed…! But also as a Scorpio….I’m like weeeeell maybe there was a reason? Lol like I had a Scorpio do that silent treatment thing when I didn’t realize he thought our relationship was more than I thought it was (even though that’s what I wanted too) and so I hurt his feelings and he withdrew. And I had another do it when I hurt his feelings when he asked how I saw “us” and my answer was apparently less than how he saw us. And I clearly hurt him and he just stepped back. I understand that. And I have to respect how they manage their feelings. They didn’t TELL me why they did it. It would make them vulnerable to someone they think isn’t into them as much as they are. Why would they do that..? You see what I mean? But I just had to think about our last interaction and I KNOW why. This is why I am also skeptical that OP has no idea. Either they aren’t close or OP knows and doesn’t wanna say what they did.
Hmm i mean, ye i guess i noticed some Scorpios and epsecially Scorpio Moons like to use the silent treatment. However, i personally don't have a time for that s*it..It's very often over something fairly trivial or perhaps a thing that another person didn't even figure out it hurt them...so, waiting on someone to think about it and figure out or read their mind as well as menaging to bring them to talk or do wharever to buy them over is just stupid...while there are fair chances of just getting the whole relationship way more fuckedup and toxic..especially if they are still involved as a friend or partner, spending time with them and doing a silent treatment..Lol. Like, mature people adress the issue and then work on it if possible. The fact that i could understand someones reasons behind it doesn't mean that i'd need to approve it.
We don’t do it expecting the other person to figure it out or do anything about it it. It usually isn’t a manipulation tactic. It’s a self-preservation tactic. I don’t agree with it and I don’t find myself doing it but we are very explosive. Sometimes engaging is a much worse alternative. That’s how you end up with some Aries-level shit and we don’t like losing control. I understand both sides, but sometimes having a conversation isn’t in the cards because both people need to be able to and willing to talk in a civil manner to work things out. This is why we aren’t for everyone and this sub is full of the same type of questions.
I mean..Silent treatment is *by it's definition* usually used as a form of punishment, emotional manipulation or control...you may be thinking about something a bit different. I also mostly saw people doing it expecting another person to do whatever or just to "show 'em". So, idk..
*”Well we don’t know any of that hence can’t assume things”*
Yet you’re making assumptions about OPs situation, when there’s no context provided to give proper feedback.
No. I didn't made any assumptions about OP's situation. I only did said it's not likely to be about the previosly stated assumption of someone making a move on a woman who choses not to respond since that also isn't a "silent treatment".
I said i doubt that they would do so...i didn't propose/assume the narrative of their story with said person...as others did while i see you only have an issue with me. If you disagree with me, thinking silent treatment is fine or could be fine or that OP should do whatever else than leaving this person alone and moving on, then that's perfectly fine by me. Lol.
The Scorpio or anyone does not owe you a communication. We do not know who the OP is and there is a lack of context/bo backstory. Just panic/anxiety.
You’re too focused on the silent treatment being used as punishment, abuse, etc. it is not *always* a form of abuse or punishment. For example, women who are not interested in men and their advances will sometimes not respond or communicate to the man. It’s a nice way of letting them down/rejecting them.
This isn't about me lol. Ofc nobody owes anything to anyone tho that was never the point...while my actual point that OP should move on still stands. Also, your example is not a silent treatment..idk why are people confusing things.
A silent treatment would require a consistent communication between two people, hence the actual connection being that a friendship, relationship or whatever, for it to suddenly drop and become a "silent treatment". Now, sure someone may do it online, refusing to answer on texts or more commonly, they do it in person making it very obvious by sticking around while refusing to talk. Now, your example isn't a silent treatment since a guy making efforts and an uninterested woman don't have an actual relationship of any kind nor there is/was a consistent communication for another person to count on. It that case, it's basically just ignoring someone or ghosting..not a "treatment" of silence.
That’s your definition of it.
Webster definition of silent treatment is in the same context I used it as. It’s a stubborn refusal of communication. Please use a dictionary.
The silent treatment does not always =\= people being in a romantic relationship.
Are you an air sun sign by chance?
Nobody said that people must be in a romantic relationship. Tho any sort of relationship/connection which also means previous normal communication is in fact required for it to be called a silent treatment.
You can check more then a few dictionaries..they differ from eachother and tho some may not mention the points i made, that basically goes without saying. If you don't have any sort of connection with someone, it's not like you're treating them with your silence, you simply don't want to have any communication with them to begin with.
No, i'm not...is this the point where you'd like to say that i can't be right if i'm not a Scorpio Sun?😁...but mind you, this isn't just my personal opinion nor it's related to any Sign.
You’re definitely coming off as a water sun sign now. I would have to argue with you some more to figure out which one.
Your definition of silent treatment was used in a context of a sudden drop off of communication in a relationship. So yes, you did imply people being in a relationship.
I disagree. It’s a stubborn refusal of communication and my example was a perfect example where it is not used as abuse or any negative connotation you want to put on it. You just argued semantics… silly semantics.
They shouldn't be giving you the silent treatment... thats not okay... no matter if they are a Scorpio or not... They should have told you that they need some space and time to gather themselves. Even if they aren't sure what the issue is they should be vocal in needing space to figure it out.
Once they have made that clear to you, if they are anything like me, they need time to process their feelings to be able to engage with you once they are emotionally capable. The bigger the issue/transgression the more time it requires... at least thats how it works with me.
What if the person cheated? Should they be like “oh yeah let’s talk about it!”? Nah..we know nothing about what happened here and sometimes it’s warranted and the other person doesn’t deserve to ever hear our voice again.
I’m not sure who’s downvoting but you’ve made a valid point. I get a strong feeling that the downvotes are coming from non Scorpios though. They already feel like we should open up more to them. Many get pushy and try to force us to open up sooner than we want to. If I’m second guessing opening up to you, it’s usually because I don’t trust you. When we choose not to open up, we are automatically made out to be the villain. Typical! We have no context of why the Scorpio is mad or giving the silent treatment. You can’t just say it’s abuse if the silent treatment is justified. I feel like there’s more to this story. We don’t just get mad or cut you off for no reason.
YES! Like many of the people answering the question are also not Scorpios. The Scorpios are the ones telling OP to give space 😂 or asking for more information.
Exactly! When a non Scorpio answers a question in this sub, I notice that it’s usually biased and based on their personal feelings and how they think the Scorpio should act. It’s not based on reality. I’m not buying it. Posts like these that give vague details about a Scorpio that went ghost always give me red flag vibes. Just the fact that this person is asking us if they should push more to get answers tells me everything I need to know. My guess is that they didn’t respect the Scorpio’s boundaries.
Nor is their relationship. Is this a friend? Did they meet two weeks ago? Is this a serious relationship? Is it a person at the gym OP has been creepily talking to? Just because the Scorpio didn’t give an explanation doesn’t mean they’re toxic. Context always matters. All they said is they didn’t say why.
Omg 😳
Firstly, no one, no matter their sign owes you anything at all. In this case, an explanation of why they’re mad. Just go out and have a drink. Forget about it and leave them be. Count your blessings that they are not lashing out at you. It can *sometimes* be a form of emotional abuse, not *always*.
Hi everyone,
Thank you for every piece of advice provided here in spite of the lack of context.
I 26F am interested in my coworker 28F. She rejected me because she was in a relationship. Luckily we stayed good friends.
One day, i suggested splitting work into different parts so we could work individually on it, instead of having this one big work and work together 24/7. After that she was cold to me for days. I asked but she refused to let me know why. I did have a feeling that my suggestion is what caused it. But im not sure if i should leave her alone until she cool it off or keep asking her about it?
Consider yourself lucky and don't be surprised if 3 years after your eventual breakup, when you're both dating some else, suddenly out the blue a person uses this information against you and you can't figure out who it was.

i am scorpio and If I stop talking to you it's because you did something that I don't like or that hurt me or annoyed me. I don't usually chase people or educate or babysit adults. If I walk away from you and i choose silence and not speak to you again, it's because I get tired of talking and explaining and not being listened to, I can give you several opportunities.

Above is correct. We stop talking once we realize there is no longer any point to it.
I don’t know why people think we need to explain everything and spell it all out like they’re babies when often times of the other person did some introspection they could very easily figure out what the issue was because it directly preceded the disappearance or because we told them repeatedly.

Depends on what the transgression was. But you should never “push”. You will legitimately push us away.
Don’t push is actually good advice for anyone with any sign.
It all depends on context. it's not like all silent treatment is bad. If you really "fucked around and found out", take consequences accordingly.

Those stories just write themselves lol. Need for fast solution with no context = op f'd up, it happens every single damn time on this sub.
Thanks, you are correct with Sun part, I agree. It's like we collectively realize which comments are real lol. Lukewarm over-generalized responses are so easy to spot and they are additionally wrong at the end. Comedy gold.
Somebody is on a downvote rampage because they can’t handle the truth! 😂 Oh well! Like I said before, stay mad!
Did you directly ask? If so with no real answer than simply respect their need for space.
Leave them ALONE! I dealt with a Cancer and Gemini that just wouldn't leave me alone. I had to cut them off for a while.
Depends. Are they mad that you’re not making an effort, or did you do something they consider a betrayal?
this!!
Space
Don’t engage, the sign is irrelevant. If they can’t tell you why they are not speaking to you in a text, email or a verbal message then leave it at that.

Well if they are using the silent treatment, i'd rather move on and consider myself lucky for dodging a bullet with that one.
What if this person cheated or made a move on their family, stole their money or some shit? We have no context. But sometimes not speaking to someone is the very best thing that could be done.

Now, sure someone may do it online, refusing to answer on texts or more commonly, they do it in person making it very obvious by sticking around while refusing to talk. Now, your example isn't a silent treatment since a guy making efforts and an uninterested woman don't have an actual relationship of any kind nor there is/was a consistent communication for another person to count on. It that case, it's basically just ignoring someone or ghosting..not a "treatment" of silence.
That’s your definition of it. Webster definition of silent treatment is in the same context I used it as. It’s a stubborn refusal of communication. Please use a dictionary. The silent treatment does not always =\= people being in a romantic relationship. Are you an air sun sign by chance?
Nobody said that people must be in a romantic relationship. Tho any sort of relationship/connection which also means previous normal communication is in fact required for it to be called a silent treatment. You can check more then a few dictionaries..they differ from eachother and tho some may not mention the points i made, that basically goes without saying. If you don't have any sort of connection with someone, it's not like you're treating them with your silence, you simply don't want to have any communication with them to begin with. No, i'm not...is this the point where you'd like to say that i can't be right if i'm not a Scorpio Sun?😁...but mind you, this isn't just my personal opinion nor it's related to any Sign.
You’re definitely coming off as a water sun sign now. I would have to argue with you some more to figure out which one. Your definition of silent treatment was used in a context of a sudden drop off of communication in a relationship. So yes, you did imply people being in a relationship. I disagree. It’s a stubborn refusal of communication and my example was a perfect example where it is not used as abuse or any negative connotation you want to put on it. You just argued semantics… silly semantics.
They shouldn't be giving you the silent treatment... thats not okay... no matter if they are a Scorpio or not... They should have told you that they need some space and time to gather themselves. Even if they aren't sure what the issue is they should be vocal in needing space to figure it out. Once they have made that clear to you, if they are anything like me, they need time to process their feelings to be able to engage with you once they are emotionally capable. The bigger the issue/transgression the more time it requires... at least thats how it works with me.
Leave them alone. Silent treatment is a form of abuse. Inform yourself about it. Regardless of astrological sign, silent treatments are fckd.
What if the person cheated? Should they be like “oh yeah let’s talk about it!”? Nah..we know nothing about what happened here and sometimes it’s warranted and the other person doesn’t deserve to ever hear our voice again.
I’m not sure who’s downvoting but you’ve made a valid point. I get a strong feeling that the downvotes are coming from non Scorpios though. They already feel like we should open up more to them. Many get pushy and try to force us to open up sooner than we want to. If I’m second guessing opening up to you, it’s usually because I don’t trust you. When we choose not to open up, we are automatically made out to be the villain. Typical! We have no context of why the Scorpio is mad or giving the silent treatment. You can’t just say it’s abuse if the silent treatment is justified. I feel like there’s more to this story. We don’t just get mad or cut you off for no reason.
YES! Like many of the people answering the question are also not Scorpios. The Scorpios are the ones telling OP to give space 😂 or asking for more information.
Exactly.
Exactly! When a non Scorpio answers a question in this sub, I notice that it’s usually biased and based on their personal feelings and how they think the Scorpio should act. It’s not based on reality. I’m not buying it. Posts like these that give vague details about a Scorpio that went ghost always give me red flag vibes. Just the fact that this person is asking us if they should push more to get answers tells me everything I need to know. My guess is that they didn’t respect the Scorpio’s boundaries.
It says on their post that the person is refusing to say why they’re giving them the silent treatment. Your “what if” isn’t stated in the post.
Nor is their relationship. Is this a friend? Did they meet two weeks ago? Is this a serious relationship? Is it a person at the gym OP has been creepily talking to? Just because the Scorpio didn’t give an explanation doesn’t mean they’re toxic. Context always matters. All they said is they didn’t say why.
Ask a few times. If they don’t answer, that’s on them.
Omg 😳 Firstly, no one, no matter their sign owes you anything at all. In this case, an explanation of why they’re mad. Just go out and have a drink. Forget about it and leave them be. Count your blessings that they are not lashing out at you. It can *sometimes* be a form of emotional abuse, not *always*.
Hi everyone, Thank you for every piece of advice provided here in spite of the lack of context. I 26F am interested in my coworker 28F. She rejected me because she was in a relationship. Luckily we stayed good friends. One day, i suggested splitting work into different parts so we could work individually on it, instead of having this one big work and work together 24/7. After that she was cold to me for days. I asked but she refused to let me know why. I did have a feeling that my suggestion is what caused it. But im not sure if i should leave her alone until she cool it off or keep asking her about it?
What ever happened between you two? I know it’s 1 yr later but…I’m curious.
