These can best be described as problems of omission and commission. They are more difficult to recognize and are probably more destructive than bad communication habits which can be harmful but at least are more honest. The more Bill withdraws, the angrier Sally becomes. The more she attacks, the more he withdraws. Bill needs to learn to express his feelings in a more direct and positive way which should help lessen Sally's need to attack.
Conflict is avoided at all costs and as a result, anger builds.
Hopelessness is conveyed - one easily gives up and does not try to communicate. Denial causes you to insist that you're not hurt or angry when you really are. Defensiveness causes people to refuse to admit any wrongdoing or responsibility for failure to communicate. You demand better treatment but refuse to ask for what you want in a straightforward and direct way. You practice sarcasm which is when your tone of voice or words convey hostility which you aren't openly acknowledging.
