sulk
This word describes a specific type of emotional withdrawal that is intentionally communicative. Unlike general sadness or depression, sulking is often a tactical display of unhappiness designed to punish others or elicit a specific reaction, such as an apology or a concession. It carries a strong connotation of immaturity or childishness, regardless of the age of the person involved.
As a noun, the word is typically used with the preposition "in" (e.g., "in a sulk") to describe a temporary state of mood. While it can be used as a countable noun to describe a single episode of resentment, it primarily functions to describe the behavioral state of refusing to engage socially.
