With some people, I withdraw or am silent. With others, I'll ask if I did something to upset them.

Sometimes I'm sorry that I was silent, especially if they've made ME angry. It's usually with two of my sons; the oldest and the youngest. They'll make a comment that I know to be wrong, usually an assumption, and rather than correct the assumption, I just won't respond. It's almost as if I don't care what they think, yet it will either hurt me or keep popping back up in my mind and will make me angry all over again. (more than likely, it's to not cause an argument) I don't know why I do that!
