Sulking

Sulk: to be silent and resentful because of a wrong done to one, especially in order to gain sympathy; brood sullenly or to show anger or resentment by being silent.


Gaceri, words can't explain how I detest this habit. It's the worst of them all. First of all, by sulking you're assuming the others witnessing your sulking know exactly what you're thinking. Mostly people sulk because of wrongs that have been done to them. Instead of talking about it, pointing it out, or defending themselves, they sulk.
It's the dumbest way in the world to resolve a wrong. No one knows what you're thinking about, no one wants to deal with you when you sulk. In any case, sulking is a form of indirect bullying. By refusing to express yourself, you're making others uncomfortable and polluting the atmosphere with negative energy.
You also look silly because you assume the others want to talk to you and maybe unbeknown to you, your silence is just the break they needed. Maybe you're doing them a huge favor by shutting up. And now suddenly, the joke's on you.
Plus it's not lady like. Please don't be that chic? 👀


Instead of sulking, take the time to express why you are displeased. Why are you mad? What specifically are you ticked off about? It is a mark of maturity and respect when you can articulate what has gone wrong and go one step further. Make suggestions as to what corrections can be done to remedy the situation. I can assure you, silence is not golden when you've been wronged. People can't read your mind. When you sulk, you're being part of the problem and not the solution.
I personally don't like sulkers. They sigh, sniff, shrug and refuse to share. Their silence is a sort of transference of anger to you. So instead of them getting mad, it's you getting ticked off. You're left experiencing the negative emotions for them. The way I deal with sulkers is ignore them, completely, until they're ready to verbally express what's wrong. Sometimes, I will tell sulkers in no vague terms (their preferred language is vague) that I am put out by their shenanigans.

You know what, sweetie, no one likes a sulker. In addition, negative thoughts will affect your body and eventually your soul. If there's one thing I know, Sulking is one of those negative activities that contribute to a rotten soul.
