Passive-Aggressive Behavior & Conflict

Passive-aggressive people: Could you be one of them? Passive-aggressive people don't get mad, they get even. When conflict triggers an emotional response, the passive-aggressive pattern is for revenge, by some form of sabotage. In conflict management, passive-aggressive behavior can often be the hardest to detect and manage - even in oneself. The fact is, many and perhaps even most people who engage in passive-aggressive patterns may not realize they are doing so in the first place.
