GameGuy: your description of your perception of others is interesting. It sounds as though you might lack a kind of social empathy – which includes the ability to “see” body language and other non-verbal communication cues. If so, you’re probably more comfortable with explicit verbal communication. Is that a fair summation?
If so, I suppose the first thing to understand is that yes, you’re not necessarily getting “the silent treatment” – although, on the few occasions where you might be getting that treatment, you might not be able to determine the difference. (Between “silent treatment” and “non-verbal communication/body language”.). I have no idea how to sort this all out – but I would suggest that some cognitive therapy might be in order. Just a thought, anyway.
