The point of all this, is why be interested in someone who is not interested in you? Why bother talking to someone who doesn't want to talk to you? Why do things for people who won't do them for you? Pretty simple.
Exactly.
S&D simply removes your "two most valuable assets"--
time and attention ("T & A")--from an individual who is undeserving of them.
S&D is not:
Game playing;
Employed with the intent to get back at her, "show" her, or bring her around; or
Employed with any other intent other than investing your T & A elsewhere.
S&D is a form of "walking away" but differs to the extent that not only are you removing a disrespectful person from your life, but you are also removing or
attempting to remove them from your awareness. Of course, I understand this is easier said than done with people whom you've had longer relations. I notice the greater I train my consciousness ("IT") in how/where to direct its focus, the greater control I have over IT. Directing your consciousness is a similar to working a muscle whereas the more you actively try to work IT, the greater control YOU have over IT.
S&D also differs from "walking away" in that the disrespect committed by the woman may not be groundbreaking that merits an irrevocable hard NEXT, but enough whereas if the person in question returns to redress, you are not violating your self-respect by investing more of your T&A into them. Naturally, I understand the type of disrespect one allows her to redress is entirely subjective and thus S&D should not be employed with the guise of allowing of a woman back into your life who commits toxic behavior. Such a woman deserves a permanent NEXT, not S&D.
S&D differs from Soft Nexting as IT is not a strategy to
deliberately "train" or manipulate women with the intent they return "corrected," but rather an exercise of removing your T & A altogether for YOU, not for them and certainly not under the guise to train them, though the ancillary side effect is covert boundary implementation.
Finally S&D is not for a woman to whom you are married, cohabitate with or will see often due to work or personal reasons as removing T&A is no longer possible in such contexts. In these cases, variations of S&D (but not S&D) can be employed which is beyond the scope of this thread.

Kind of curious on a specific thing. If a girl is being disrespectful (silent treatment), I try reaching out to see what's up, and it still seems like an apparent 'move' on her part... is being silent and distant, + eventually silently removing them from social media (after some time) fit this idea? I always get stuck on what level of 'disappear' is appropriate.
Feels obvious in some respect... but I rather have someone slap me silly with it on here to be sure.
Whenever you have a question in how to best employ S&D, ask yourself one simple question: Will doing XYZ invest or withdraw my T & A from them. In this case, removing them from your social media withdraws your T&A from them, and thus is warranted.
