Passive Aggressive behavior is a form of covert abuse. When someone hits you or yells at you, you know that you've been abused. It is obvious and easily identified. Covert abuse is subtle and veiled or disguised by actions that appear to be normal, at times loving and caring. The passive aggressive person is a master at covert abuse.Passive aggressive behavior stems from an inability to express anger in a healthy way. A person's feelings may be so repressed that they don't even realize they are angry or feeling resentment. A passive aggressive can drive people around him/her crazy and seem sincerely dismayed when confronted with their behavior. Due to their own lack of insight into their feelings the passive aggressive often feels that others misunderstand them or, are holding them to unreasonable standards if they are confronted about their behavior.
Lately, Richard and I I have been experiencing this behavior from Uncle Joe. However, if I am blogging about this, I may be Passive Aggressive. Is this 6 degrees of separation?

I am NOT passive aggressive!! When you burned up my second lunch box this morning, I yelled &^%$#.
ReplyDeleteThat was ACTIVE aggressive.
I apologize. You had a good excuse.

Dear U.J,
ReplyDeleteDid I leave the refrigerator door ajar? That would be the only reason the refrigerator light would stay on.
Where is burned up lunch bag?
Always stay sweet,

ReplyDeleteYou are right. The door was slightly ajar, but nothing to worry about.
I brought the burned-up bag to work and it's a great conversation piece.
