Hi everyone in the group,

I joined about 10 days ago, but didn't see anyone posting, so I just kind of
lurked for a while. My name is Debra and I live in Wisconsin and I joined
because my boyfriend is p-a, and I was hoping to gain some advice and support
through this.

From what I have read about passive-aggressive, it is not about being passive in
life, it is about being aggressive in a way that doesn't seem aggressive, it is
doing it in a passive way so no one really realizes you are aggressive. So I
think going along and trying not to rock the boat, and trying to stay out of
conflicts is OK, it is being passive but not aggressive, and living life so as
not to hurt the people around you. P-A's hurt the people close to them, I think
that is the main difference.

I hope that made sense.

Debra

Is it bad to be passive aggressive to the point where you just
want life to be in balance and not rock the boat and to be
a peacemaker without hurting anyone? When you are older isn't it OK
to be passive, you have lived alot of life and don't need to be
starting things with others?

How do you know if you are truly passive aggressive? I don;t like
conflicts or confrontations, Life is too short.
