Does anyone else cut people off and see how long it takes for them to notice?

I was just curious whether or not other people try to do things to justify their splits this way. Sometimes whenever I suspect someone hates me, I suddenly doubt my judgement. I then cut them off or don’t talk to them for a certain period of time, usually a week. Most of the time, they don’t say anything or ask why I’ve been gone. This then either leads me to cut them off for good or very vocally split on them the next time we converse. I’ve lost a good handful of “friends” this way and I don’t really know how to stop it. It seems very reasonable if someone doesn’t care what happens to you in 7 days they don’t care about you at all, right?
