PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE

When the responsibility is ours for the behavior of one we have charge over, we often lack in energy or will for intervention to their rebellious ways as if it is some reflection on us as caretakers. We become peacefully resistant or quiet in response to misdeeds committed, either moral or ethical. Not exerting influence or change to obvious wrongdoings, offering no resistance while being inactive but capable of becoming active. However, the smallest of disagreement with one who should be our counterpart in life’s journey, whose behavior for which we have no accountability, we have or show determination, and an energetic pursuit of a disposition to bicker, quarrel, or fight. Our developed style can only be described as abrasive and contentious. This acrimonious spirit we have nurtured, boisterously and noisily aggressive for the slightest infringement. Where great care should be exercised to maintain harmony, our conduct is characteristic of an enemy or one eager to fight. By using truculent speech against our partners while striving to overcome in argument. With a confrontational discourse to the point of being cantankerous, resembling an intelligent but argumentative child whom has grown up and sharpened their antagonistic ways. This demeanor can be unhelpful when minor disputes arise between assumed equals.
