3. Blocking and diverting
4. Contradicting
5. Discounting
6. Disparaging humour
7. General crazy-making
8. Judging and criticising

1. Refusing to talk or make eye contact
2. Sulking, strutting, posturing and stomping out of the room
3. Boredom-crossed arms, showing disgust, rolled eyes and frowning
4. Inappropriate sounds, deep sighs, words like, “Soooo!” or Sstarting a sentence with, “Forget it!”
5. Hitting or kicking something or driving recklessly to scare you
6. Withdrawing or with holding affection to punish you
7. Patronizing, laughing at your opinion, mimicking or smirking
8. Interrupting, ignoring, not listening, refusing to respond
