Original Advice
“DONT: Don’t weaponize silence to control closeness.”
Retire the Silent Treatment Throne
Your quiet isn’t gentle; it’s a locked door. You vanish to make them chase. You ration replies like crumbs and call it protection. It’s not. It’s leverage. You turn tides into traps, sulking until apologies appear. You demand proof of loyalty by starving connection. You think the shell keeps you safe. It only keeps you lonely. Speak, or admit you prefer distance over truth.
Control isn’t closeness. Power isn’t safety. When you withhold, you train people to fear you, not meet you. Silence grows mold in the room you want to live in. Attention earned by panic expires fast. Say the thing. Set the boundary with words, not winter. Ask for space before you freeze. Name the mood before it names the night. Clarity is warmer than punishment.
Cosmic Context
Moon-ruled, you move in tides and build homes around your heart. Use that lunar pull to guide people in, not strand them on the shore.
