00:00Ellen asks do narcissistic people ever use going no contact as a punishment
00:05tactic all the time all the time but they tend to have a lot of balloons and
00:11pageantry around that like I'm never speaking to you again how dare you do
00:18this to me how could you do this to me you will never hear from me again they'll
00:25do that sometimes they'll use protracted silent treatment they're like I'm you
00:32know I have nothing to say to you and they'll go silent as I said if you grew
00:35up with a narcissistic parent especially a vulnerable narcissistic parent they
00:39very much may have used the silent treatment as an abandonment technique
00:42but for a narcissistic person it's often not thought out they're often impulsively
00:48responding to something you did or said or didn't do or didn't say and then like
00:52for example they may have cheated on you four times and you kept repairing with
00:56them then one day they may find a text on your phone that maybe is sort of like
01:01not fully appropriate and they'll completely give they'll go into contact
01:04with you so that's what I'm saying there's a real double standard there
