What is passive aggression?

Posted by shar on May 18, 2003, at 22:24:22

I'm wondering if anybody out there has a good definition for passive aggression? After all the self-help, codependency, 12-step programs/books I've read over the years, I'm having a hard time coming up with a very clear idea as to what it really is. In some cases it seems to be ANYTHING someone does, and in others it actually has parameters about the way anger is expressed.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Shar
