Passive Aggressive

Have you ever been passive aggressive? Do you know what that means? Well, it's when you are in a manipulation mode, trying to wrestle something into going your way, and you are extremely nice to get you way, and then, if it's not going your way, you turn extremely mean and attacking.

So, do you behave like this? Many people do in varying degrees and some of it is just plain crazy and wrong. The basis of this behavior, like most if not all of our dysfunctional actions, is FEAR! When we are afraid that we are not getting our way, or that if we don't get our way we'll somehow not be okay, we will wiggle through situations and step on others toes with this passive aggressive behavior.

This is very damaging to relationships with others and if you have any of these behaviors, take a look and see if you need to make some changes and some amends in this area.

We often find that when we change our behavior, others will treat us better and we'll feel more comfortable about things. You see, if we're behaving this way becuase of fear, then we do some damage, and create harm to others, then we are uncomfortable and thus even more afraid and alone. The cycles must break with us. We HAVE to be the changes that we want to see in the world!
