Self Improvement - Passive Aggressive Men

Passive aggressive behavior certainly isn't a good thing. It's quite easy to notice and quite hard to get rid of. This behavior is some kind of a passive resistance to accomplishing your tasks and other people's expectations. It is a defense mechanism, and unfortunately, it works well against people that don't know how to treat that kind of behavior.
In short, passive aggressive behavior ruins our tries to achieve our goals, interests and objectives.
In most cases, that kind of men makes other people angry. For example; you scheduled a meeting and the other person will cancel it at very last moment or he won't show up. Or he will promise something and simply won't complete his promise. Generally, that kind of men agree with other people's wishes and accept them, but for some reason have a need to sabotage them.
In reality it goes like this: create expectation and then forget about it or ruin it. Instead of saying "I won't do it", "I don't want to do it" or "You can expect me to do it", passive aggressive men will agree with you, and then will show his resistance indirectly through lack of action. Of course, passive aggressive men never take responsibility for their actions so it's always other people's fault and quilt.
Passive aggressive men are usually skilled at making up excuses and not taking responsibility so it might be hard to get in real contact with them. It would be the best not to expect anything from them, but sometimes that clearly isn't solution (in marriage for example).
What we can do is try to talk to that person. We can point out some examples of passive-aggressive behavior as well as explain that term. We could talk about what could be the cause of suppressed anger. That could be good indicator of whether or not is that passive aggressive person aware of his own behavior. If that person admits his that he has problems, we can encourage him to say it laud, to say it directly without hesitating. It's hard to find anger when it's masked into sabotaging plans and expectations. Only when that men or women says it openly, we can try to help.
