Mute
Your ability to stop responding, even when provoked. Not about listening, but choosing silence as a control.
Alex Cooper and Learning That Boundaries Are About You, Not Them
Mute is about choosing silence and non-response as an act of control. Alex Cooper gives a concrete example: if your dad starts complaining about your mom during a phone call after you already told him you'd hang up if he did that — you hang up. You don't explain again, you don't argue, you don't try to redirect. You stop responding. That's Mute being used as the actual consequence that makes a boundary real.
