Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Passive-aggressive communication involves expressing negative feelings indirectly, often through actions or subtle comments. This can include things like giving someone the silent treatment, making snarky comments, or avoiding confrontation but still finding ways to punish or undermine the other person. It is passive because it avoids direct confrontation, but aggressive because it still involves negative behavior directed towards someone else.
