NARCISSISTS USE THE SILENT TREATMENT AS A FORM OF CONTROL AND PUNISHMENT.
EMPATHETIC PEOPLE GO NO CONTACT AS A WAY TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AND RECOVER. They are not the same response.
"Pathologically narcissistic personalities are very punitive. This means they desire to punish others for the things they believe others have done to them. They are easily offended, easily insulted, easily angered, and often feel rejected or attacked. They assign the blame for their feelings to other people and, if the feelings are negative, narcissists seek to punish these others for what they've supposedly done, which is considered by the narcissist to be incredibly, even unreasonably wrong and terrible. A crime of this magnitude cannot simply be allowed to stand. The other person absolutely must be punished for it.
This is in part due to the size and constitution of the pathologically narcissistic ego, which is both enormous and almost absurdly fragile. This is a very bad combination because that makes it easy to damage and impossible to avoid. Not only do they think virtually everything is to or for or because of or about them because their ego is disproportionately huge, but because it's so fragile, virtually everything insults, offends, hurts, or upsets them. It can be so severe that it comes across as what looks like paranoia or even delusion." Read more in the link below
