"muro de defensa"


Explanation:
Puede referirse también a un "muro de defensa" ante las agresiones... en español también se usa esta expresión para referirse a crear como un caparazón que te aísle del exterior psicológicamente y te haga menos vulnerable.
Aunque por el contexto, parece más lógica la opción de Andrea.

prejuicios


Explanation:
Es una propuesta. También puede referirse a que los prejuicios actúan como un muro en esa relación. Esos prejuicios hacen que no avance.

Suerte.
