CONT

La communication passive-agressive [...] se traduit par une attitude passive dans l'expression des besoins, des désirs, des idées et des sentiments et cache une intention agressive sous-jacente. Souvent, la personne qui communique d'une manière passive-agressive ne dit pas ce qu'elle pense vraiment et s'exprime plutôt au moyen de commentaires ou de gestes ambigus que les autres peuvent trouver irrespectueux ou irritants. Un comportement passif-agressif consiste[,] par exemple[,] à éviter de parler directement de ses préoccupations et à exprimer ses insatisfactions par d'autres comportements qui peuvent être interprétés comme de la manipulation.
