I think I have been doing this recently with T. In my session 2 weeks ago I became angry with him then withdrew and went silent, and then stared at him for an uncomfortable period of time in order to make him feel some concern over me. But when he didn't have the reaction I was looking for I got more angry, and I've been feeling very distant ever since.

I know I used to do this a lot in childhood to get attention. It's not so productive in adulthood though. *sigh*
