Why do people get angrier if you don't say anything during an argument?

In the event of an argument, I just don't say anything. It doesn't seem like it'll solve anything anyway. Yet, I've noticed that if anyone tries to argue with me, and all I do is stare at them silently, they get even angrier and KEEP ON YELLING! What gives?

    That seems strange that they get angrier. Maybe they find your stare unnerving.

    because they want more fuel to keep the argument going.
