If words don’t help, try silence (treatment).

There are people who don’t respond to direct speech or words. They are as if they don’t even hear words; they only hear the tone of voice without a link to the words. If you fear rejection, they may think of it as your fear of lying to their face, or fear of them, period. If you can’t express anger, love, sadness, or admiration in words, try to shut up and tell it to them in silence. If you love them, express it without words. If you hate them, express it without words. Whatever you feel, express it without words. Sometimes it’s the only language that goes all the way through.
