When Silence is Louder than Words

People can talk and talk all they want. When we have decided to stop listening we either tune them out or simply walk away. Arguements get you absolutely nowhere because nothing is actually heard. Then there are the moments when no communication causes deeper rooted feelings than just being mad. People ignore even speaking to avoid the conflict of what someone has to say. Silence turns into a deafening cry of reality. Not hearing a sound, no conversation to explain the problems leaves you wondering why it's so easy to pretend those issues don't exist. Not talking anymore doesn't magically correct a situation, it just creates the deepest rooted problems followed by extreme reactions later. We internalize the lack of communication as someone not caring about our feelings or trying to be hurtful. The bad part ends up when in reality people stop talking all together because of stubborn personalities and selfish behavior. Is it really worth ending friendships because we can not forgive and forget and start over?
