What Is Passive Aggressive Behavior?
A person who is passive aggressive is one who wants to avoid confrontation with others, but does so by indirectly demonstrating resistance to another’s requests, thoughts, actions, etc. For this reason, passive aggressive behavior is draining because it is not authentic.
