6 Signs of Passive Aggressive Behavior That is Ruining Your Relationships with Others

1. The silent treatment

Insecure People don’t like to talk when they get upset. Have you ever done this? When someone needs something or asks for something do you just ignore them? When you get upset do you just go silent? Do you think that if you don’t say anything you’ll get your way? Stop being a passive aggressive person and tell people what’s wrong. I worked with a bunch of insecure people that thought they were really hot shit. That was until they didn’t get their way. Then they threw little fits and complained like babies. One of their main ways to show they were upset was just not saying anything. They held in their anger and let their face go red. Don’t be a loser.

2. Sarcasm

“Oh okaaaay.” “Riiiiight.” “If you want….”

Are these phrases you say when you’re annoyed? You might be a weak person. Just tell people the problem instead of being sarcastic and thinking that this is going to solve your problems. You’re just going to stay upset and upset everyone else.

3. Sabotage

Insecure people hate when things don’t go their way. And if they can’t have it there way, then no one can, they’d rather ruin things for everyone. Have you ever sabotaged someone’s opportunity? Maybe you hid something someone needed or deleted files that were important to a project. Just because life isn’t fair doesn’t mean you should ruin other people's chances at doing something.

4. Not doing anything

Weak minded people LOVE to do NOTHING when they are upset. They pretend like they forgot. Or they don’t remember how to do something. All of the sudden they are little children that need their hand held. Don’t be a little baby. Be mature and do what you need to do.

5. Not being happy for someone

Ever not happy for someone else’s success or good news because you’re miserable? Turn that frown upside down. Just because your life sucks doesn’t mean someone else's has to.

6. Avoiding contact

Here’s a kicker. Confident people will be direct with others when there is conflict. Weak ones on the other hand avoid contact at all cost. Insecure people will have their friends contact you. They will not reply to your emails and let your calls go to voice mail. They would rather text or talk through a middleman then talk to you.

This has happened to me before where a weak man I was doing business with got upset. I’d call him to try to discuss things and figure out a compromise but he was a little pussy and never answered. What a loser.

Absolutely spot on.

People who behave like this are toxic to work with (and toxic to have in your private life, too, truth be told).

I've managed a few like this out of the door. The working environment improved immediately in their absence.

Exactly.

[seagreen]

It is absolutely true. I hate these kind of behaviour too.

I hate everyone, so...
