How to use "Sulk" in context?
The dictionary defines sulking as "a state of low spirits in which a person behaves irritably, grumpily, and sulky." While there may be various reasons for a person to be in a sulky mood, there's one commonality: The person is unhappy about something and isn't willing to share that unhappiness with anyone. It's as if they're holding onto their anger, their resentment, and their pain like a shield against the world.
Sulkiness can be contagious, and it can sap the morale of those around the person who are feeling down.
