Punishments that fit the crime

Magnolia1

What causes one person to deliberately stop talking to someone for a whole year ?

What crime do you think deserves being disowned by someone who you once called family ?

Has this happened to anyone else ?

  • Assuming the person whose stopped speaking is Autistic, maybe you inadvertently did or said something that made them question whether you still saw them as your friend? Autistics tend to have very narrow definitions of things. eg I have autism my definition of a 'best friend' is that the person would tell me important life events before they told anyone else (or I'd at least be in the 'select few' for that person who was told before it was announced on social media for example).

    So if for example if someone who I believed I was heir best friend as I'd been told that in the past , announced some important life event on social media and I realised I hadn't even been included in the people who'd been told before they told everyone else then that would mean to be they no longer saw me as their best friend so I'd disconnect from them. They'd then be treated like an acquaintance or someone who had to be 'tolerated' like a social worker visiting.
