Thanks for the article. I just had a conversation with someone about this recently. We talked about why folks sulk and the impact it has on those around them. Some sulkers, withrawers like me also were flat out told that they needed to go away with those feelings. Folks can be taught that it is not OK to express their feeling and that it is too much for those around them to bare. The result of sulking can end up hurting the very ones that couldn't tolerate their feelings in the first place as well as others.

It's good to read this post and again here how this can impact those around the sulker.
