    After youve been codependent for so long it starts to feel like everyone is a narcissist. Its hard to trust again. Can you talk about this sometime? 😘😘😘😘😘😘

    Stonewalling is often used by narcissists to avoid all responsibilities.

    If someone uses stonewalling as a tactic, that is the end of a relationship with me.

    Yes. Stonewalling feels like abandonment.

    My narcissist would just look at me after I've bared my soul. It was if I hadn't said a word.

    Yup. I realised this when I found myself begging someone to talk to me to communicate. It’s indirectly being told to shut up

    I find that MANY people stonewall, especially in romantic relationships when they don't want to admit they're treating you badly or they want to string you along, and no matter who does it, it's rude, disrespectful and childish. Don't waste your time on someone who would do this to you.

    Never in my whole life have I encountered something that made me feel as crazy and out of control in my own self and reactions as repeated stonewalling. I thought I had seen it all and there is no way to describe how scary it feels unless you're in it.

    Stonewalling sends a strong signal that you are not worth being treated with respect. It’s a favorite tactic of “mean girls.” It’s a red flag that is easy to spot. Wish I had known this when I was younger and not accepted society’s excuse that the silent girl was probably just busy. Thank you, Dr. Ramani.

    Disgusting immature behavior! If anyone stonewalls me now it's permanent!!! I've cut off about 5 people in the past 10 years just by doing this to me.

    I find stonewalling as an emotional absence from a relationship, in so doing they deny your value as a human being. It is a chosen extreme to dehumanize their victim as being no more influential than a piece of gravel in the path of life.

    Stonewalling is incredibly infuriating. You’re made to feel invisible as they exert their power through this immature and sinister manipulative move. It feels like punishment for something that doesn’t warrant it. So many memories of this, especially in the car.

    "no thoughts, no feelings, no opinions = no problems" was my (sad) mantra when he was around

    She’s right. You Can’t get a person like this into any counseling. They don’t have any problems🙄

    “I thought you needed to sleep on it so I decided to go to bed” and then left me in emotional distress, I get anxiety just thinking about all the times I’ve been stonewalled

    Stonewalling was one of the most painful things about my experience with my ex. It is so awesome and validating to know others understand this too.

    stonewalling hurts the most in anything that a partner can do. it hurts more than being shouted at because at least in there they're communicating their frustrations. stonewalling with the "bring it up again and i'll leave you." when you're just trying to fix a recurring problem, in the calmest way of asking them to sit down and talk about how to fix a certain problem.

    One of the very biggest red flags, especially if it lasts for days or weeks.

    One of the most painful patterns of abuse to be caught up in. A complete waste of energy and LIFE!

    For a while, I admired my ex's ability to shut down the conversation and walk away from people whom he later painted to me as completely irate and out of line. He always positioned himself as some sort of strong-willed alpha. That was until I had experienced his patterns of provoking conflict, followed by gaslighting, blame-shifting, stonewalling, and smearing first-hand. I feel really dumb for mistaking it for "strength".
