self-sabotage is also
• not asking for help
• rejecting praise
• isolating yourself when hurt
• saying "yes" to everything
• putting your needs on hold
• procrastinating on important tasks
• watching too much news
• trying to be perfect
Silence is not an answer. Period. It just postpones the actual truth. It is not fair to 'guess' the 'truth' because of someone else's immaturity and cowardice. Silence manipulates the situation and keep it ongoing and away from the real truth. It's mentally abusive.
