Aren't we all guilty of being passive-aggressive at one point or another in our lives?? I know I've done it. 
Ok, after reading everyone else's posts on this topic, I'm wondering if either I don't know what passive-aggressive means or if I'm one of those weird, abused people with a low self-esteem. 
Ok, here's what I've done that I think was passive-aggressive. When the hubby & I used to fight, at one point during the argument I'd just stop talking. My "oh f*** it" switch got flipped.  I'd go cold and silent for a while.

Why do people behave passive aggressively?
Somehow this question posed inspired a morbid response, which never made it to print. I was significantly more passive agressive from childhood, but then it wasn't acceptable to be angry. Now, I'm just a smarta$$ with attitude. |

Diagnostic Criteria for Passive-Aggressive Personality Disorder
A pervasive pattern of passive resistance to demands for adequate social and occupational performance, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by at least five of the following: 1. Procrastinates, i.e., puts off things that need to be done so that deadlines are not met. 2. Becomes sulky, irritable, or argumentative when asked to do something he or she does not want to do. 3. Seems to work deliberately slowly or to do a bad job on tasks that he or she really does not want to do. 4. Protests, without justification, that others make unreasonable demands on him or her. 5. Avoids obligations by claiming to have "forgotten". 6. Believes that he or she is doing a much better job than others think he or she is doing. 7. Resents useful suggestions from others concerning how he or she could be more productive. 8. Obstructs the efforts of others by failing to do his or her share of the work. 9. Unreasonably criticizes or scorns people in positions of authority. Source: American Psychiatric Association. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. |

Most people will tend to show systems of passive-agressive behavior when pushed to a breaking point. Fight or flight, it is a form of flight. Generally showing signs of it when in a position where you have no recourse. For most people it is not a disorder, it's being human. People that truely have this disorder are like this all the time. Rude, angry, bitter, but seldom get physical. |
