Stonewalling is a term used to describe an uncooperative or evasive communication style. It involves blocking, resisting, and avoiding questions or requests for information by providing minimal responses or no response at all. This behavior can be seen as a form of passive aggression where the person stonewalling may appear to be ignoring or not listening to the other person's concerns or questions. Stonewalling is often used as a way to avoid confrontation, deflect blame, or evade responsibility. It can also be a tactic used by individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or angry and may lack the skills needed to effectively communicate their feelings or thoughts.
