Stonewalling

Stonewalling is the refusal to engage, the turning away that happens when someone is flooded with emotion and shuts down entirely—often mistaken for strength when it's actually a way of leaving while remaining in the room. It erodes intimacy faster than almost any confrontation, because it removes the possibility of being met.
