Silence, but not of the lambs.

Very often manipulators resort to this method. To ostensibly show all their resentment. Now, I'm not pointing any fingers, but women do it most often.The main way to oppose to such manipulation is to keep from dancing to the tune of the manipulator. If the manipulator manages to play on the feelings of others once, he will succeed in doing so again. It's better to say something like this: "Approach me when you're ready to talk constructively." This way the person will understand for sure that you are not playing their games.
