Above: In the Car by Roy Lichtenstein.
When someone is administering the silent treatment they are trying to show that they are dominant over you.
"Feelings of ostracism from the silent treatment cause the brain's anterior cingulate cortex to detect pain. Sufferers report feelings of unworthiness, not belonging, loss of control and low self-esteem"
