What is sulk and pout?

Sulk and pout are two behaviors often associated with negative emotions such as anger, annoyance, disappointment, or sadness.

Sulking is a passive aggressive behavior characterized by withdrawing from social interaction, refusing to communicate, and often displaying a moody or sulky demeanor. It is typically the result of feeling slighted, ignored, or hurt in some way, and is often used as a way to manipulate others into feeling guilty or sorry.

Pouting, on the other hand, is a more active form of expression and involves projecting negative emotions through facial expressions and body language, often accompanied by sighing, groaning, or other vocalizations. It is a more overt attempt to communicate displeasure or disappointment, and is often used as a means of eliciting a response from others.

Both sulk and pout are generally considered negative behaviors, as they can be disruptive to relationships and communication. It is important to address these behaviors and find healthier and more constructive ways of expressing negative emotions.
