People who handle their negative feelings in an indirect manner are passive aggressive. Rather than communicating their problems directly, passive aggressive people tend to avoid responsibility by: – Delivering backhanded compliments to “get back” at the “real” culprit – Excluding those that they are not too fond of – Making excuses to further avoid a situation – Giving the silent treatment And that’s just for starters. As a result, some passive aggressive people can be sugarcoating masters. They circle around what they actually want to say while searching for a “better” way to say it. In the end, their carefully chosen words end up cutting even deeper! **Take a look at these letters written by a range of passive aggressive children. Some are light-hearted while others raise bright red flags.**
