"Comply with the desires and needs of others".....that sounds familiar.

Passive Aggressive Personality Disorder | Peace and Healing
Earlier suppositions..........
* dissatisfied people who acted as if they were perpetually wounded (Aschaffenburg, 1922);
* fussy people with sour dispositions (Hellpach, 1920);
* depressives with ill tempers who were spiteful, malicious, and pessimistic (Schneider, 1923);
* people with irritable moods (Bleuler, 1924); and
* people who took everything hard and felt the unpleasantness in every situation (Kraepelin, 1913). (Millon & Radovanov, Livesley, ed., 1995, pp. 314-316).
The current criteria for the passive-aggressive personality disorder as proposed by the Personality Disorders Work Group for the DSM-IV includes:
* passive resistance to fulfilling social and occupational tasks through procrastination and inefficiency;
* complaints of being misunderstood, unappreciated, and victimized by others;
* sullenness, irritability, and argumentativeness in response to expectations;
* angry and pessimistic attitudes toward a variety of events;
* unreasonable criticism and scorn toward those in authority;
* envy and resentment toward those who are more fortunate;
* self-definition as luckless in life and an inclination to whine and grumble about being jinxed;
* alternating behavior between hostile assertion of personal autonomy and dependent contrition (Millon & Radovanov, Livesley, ed., 1995, p. 321).
MAKES ONE WONDER WHO IS PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE AMONG US.
Hopefully, not too many.
The problem folks have is they feel they have to CONSTANTLY EXPLAIN WHAT THEY MEANT.......and even those who can type quickly and are long winded enough to go into DETAIL........still are misunderstood, by a few naysayers and doubting Thomases. Most people who have lived long enough know that differences in opinions is what makes the world go round. How BORING it would be if everyone were the same.
