Someone called me out on my passive aggressive behaviour and said it’s easier to not talk to me. Was the slap in the face I needed to improve myself

I'm so passive aggressive. I think it was because my parents always took my feelings as not important, as if I overreacted, and that made me swallow down all my feelings, especially rage, because showing it was shameful, I know that in my perception, feeling angry is not something I'm able to express because it's not that important; and my mind just protects itself from humillation through acting passive-aggressive. BUT this behavior is no longer to blame my parents or myself, I am changing because I won't lose more friends or couples for being bottling up.


Thank you for this video.

One thing here I think is too focused upon, that I hear a lot of, is finding causation in childhood. It's a cop-out, in my opinion, to blame your parents or some childhood issue for your behavior. Its giving yourself permission to be PA because someone treated you this way when you were young. You have to own the responsibility even if you don't truly believe you are responsible or you'll continue to make excuses for being a jerk to people who deserve more respect from you than you're giving.
