A freeze-out is a hard takeaway: you go cold, talk to someone else, or leave, after a perceived slight. Sometimes it is just having standards. Sometimes it is a tantrum with a jargon name. [1] In practice: leave if you are not wanted. Do not punish people to train them. That is dread game energy leaking into a first conversation.
