Effective?

Not at all. Hate only hurts the hate filled one, never the intended target unless the hatred manifests into violence or property damage. On the occasions I've been hated this way ( the silence! ) I found it laughable, and so did!

It's called being Passive-Aggressive i.e. you aren't effected by what that person says or wants anymore. You just don't care!!
Do they notice that?? They sure do if you can keep it up!! And If you slip up just begin again the next day!! It takes practice. (I am assuming this is a person with which you have good reasons for shunning) Just concentrate on what reaction they desire, what are they trying to get out of you, and then block it by total indifference. But, as I said, it's not right to use that on someone you love or want in your life. "Training" someone how to treat you is also manipulation and you can't keep it up. Good Luck!! @8-)

How much time to you or are you required to spend around this person you Hate? If its a lot and its required in school or on the job maybe you should possibly consider changing your attitude. I think if your in this situation I could find you in several lights. Petty, Stuck up, Selfish, Imature.
If its a limited time say just that you will have to be around this person for then next week. Then maybe you have to just make your way thru as when its overwith you can move on.

The question would be effective to accomplish what? Effective implies some goal. I think when you are "silent" to someone when normal socialness would have you talking to them, they feel rejected by you, that perhaps you are being a snob to them. I'd think they'd be offended perhaps hurt by it and might ask you what's up. If your goal were to get them to stop doing whatever it is you can't stand, then no, that wouldn't work, for that you'd have to talk to them and explain that you'd like to like them, but this one thing they do drives you crazy and you can't stand it. But if you just can't stand them as a person, then best thing is to get away from them if possible. But try to truly forget them, not have them "on silent treatment" cause that is engaging them in itself and prolonging the relaitonship.

Omg, the silent treatment works every time for me, it's the best and worst all rolled in to one. Worst for the person u can't stand and best for u, trust me. It's the best revenge, for sure. They perceive it as " I am not even good enought to talk to, and makes them feel like "sh_ t." Over all very effective.

Usually, a simple "I hate you, go away!" will suffice. For the people who still don't understand, ending the statement with some sort of explative will drive the message home. If they still don't get it, physical violence is the only solution. If you're married to this person, just give up and accept your fate. Good luck with your relationship.

Well there are many reasons why people don't like others, but the question is really in You. In situations like these I use the opprotunity to disclose "on the sly" why others shy from or dislike them. Some people don't know they are offensive...... Use this to your benefit !!!
