Passive aggression is a way of expressing negative emotions indirectly, often as a reaction to feeling misunderstood or unappreciated. It can manifest in various ways, and recognizing these signs can help you understand and manage the behavior effectively.

Example: Hinting at Feelings: They may reference an earlier incident without stating their feelings about it or speak about a similar situation and how they feel about that incident instead.

Why don't you yourself research some examples and we can compare them to posts made here. Fun for the whole family!

In "Let's", the S means "us". Who are "us"?

"I mean, they're not gonna kill ya
So if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock
They won't do it again. Dig it?
I mean he get off lightly, 'cause I would've given him a thrashing
I only hit him once! It was only a difference of opinion, but really
I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?"

That's the idea! The fun for the whole family. Let us all research together, and then share our findings on passive aggression we can agree on.

Q: What are the signs of passive aggression to you?

A: Speaking quietly through my teeth. This usually happens when I shake the small hand and congratulate a 11-year-old who defeated me in the last round of a tournament just as I was making real progress to my next rating level. This speech habit quietly displays a sincere desire to bury a pickaxe in the back of the little urchin's skull as he happily bounds out of the tournament hall at the end of the game without a word to do handstands against a wall, then spends the next hour exercising his thumbs with his video gamer device and deliberately ignoring me as if I were a different species. πŸ˜•

This post by you could be considered an example of weak passive aggressiveness.
