What is Stonewalling? 6 Signs, 8 Causes & Tips to Promote Open Communication

It is no secret that conflicts and misunderstandings exist in every relationship, despite how the relationship might look like to the outside world.
How these are dealt with determines how the relationship will progress or end.
How do you deal with conflicts in your relationships?
One can think that there are two kinds of people.
• The ones who are always ready to address the issue when it is still burning and iron out any differences or concerns immediately.
• And those who need some time to think about it before eventually having the discussion.
But, over time, I have learnt that there is also a 3rd group. People who do not want to deal with the issue at all.
One way they do this is through stonewalling. This is when one consciously or subconsciously shuts down and opts to not deal with the issue.
