People who are PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE shut out others by passively ignoring others in what they: affirm, say, do, role-model, and ask. PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE people alienate themselves from others by shutting them out of their own lives; even while in the presence of creative other people who are affirming complementary: ideals, values, principles, hopes, goals, insights, achievements, aspirations, etc. In many "good" institutions PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE people often dominate the deadly lives of the institutions; e.g., churches, synagogues, mosques, fraternal organizations, human services centers, etc. PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE people do NOT appear to be aggressive --- because they are at the same time passive; which seems to be the opposite of being aggressive. AGGRESSIVE people dominate in many different and contrasting ways through: violence, coercion, deception, dishonesty, misleading-behaviors, selective-withdrawal, selective-favors, selective-rejections, selective-acceptance, selective-friendships, exclusivity, alienations, excommunications, rejections, condemnations, damnations, etc. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
