whats passive agreesion and whas overt agression
Passive Aggression - You don't directly engage in the dispute, like your aggressor is expecting...Instead, you start engaging in behaviours that absolutely annoy your aggressor, and you do it with a smug ignorant and fake innocence...
For example, your significant other starts screaming at you for not doing this that and the third, and instead of showing your anger, you just laugh at him/her in a condescending way...I know for a fact women HATE this...But they will never break up with you, because it's so confusing to them...
Overt Aggression - You directly engage in the dispute...Your neighbour sh+ts on your lawn, you sh+t on his lawn... People like this reaction because it acknowledges and validates their emotions...
Basically, passive aggression is a form of "silent arrogance"...
Another example is if you are driving, and you cut another driver off, and he speeds up until his car is right next to you, and starts cussing at you...If you just smile/laugh and shake your head at him like he is just a child with no reason to angry, I bet you will make even more angry than you would if you started swearing back at him...
