According to psychologists...

Passive aggression is a deliberate and masked way of expressing covert feelings of anger.

Couched in backhanded compliments, insulting gifts, hostile sticky notes, and behind angry smiles, passive aggression involves a variety of behaviors (hence, the overuse of the term) designed to get back at another person without the passive aggressor having to own up to or articulate their true feelings. Passive aggression is motivated by a person's fear of expressing anger directly.

Passive aggressive people take genuine pleasure in frustrating others. They are masters at getting others to act out their angry feelings--to explode and appear crazy--while the passive aggressive person sits back and watches the emotional outburst with satisfaction, total control, and always with their own poise intact.

feline: Well stated. This has been a very interesting and informative thread. Thanks, OP.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

A good example: I have a relative who is passive/aggressive about many things. He will never do anything for you the first time you ask because he doesn't like to be "told" to do anything for anyone.

So, he'll get it done when he gets it done. Deliberately, he will delay action just to prove his point (silently, of course).

They don't want to have a full out confrontation, but they'll get you another way. He will admit he runs from confrontation--so he's figured out how to irritate the other person. He admits he's passive/aggressive. Something to be proud of, right?
