Passive-aggressive behavior is when people choose to express their resentment or hostility indirectly, creating a disconnect between what they say and do.

This is one of the commonly shared traits of narcissistic individuals. Whether intentionally or not, they use it to manipulate their partners and make it seem as though they are the ones being victimized.

Healthy relationships require stable and open communication. This isn’t possible when the parties involved can’t assert themselves or don’t have the capacity to empathize.

Everyone involved in a relationship should be able to freely express what they want and need, as long as they do so in a way that genuinely considers and understands their partner’s feelings as well.

In this video, Dr. Hawkins educates us on passive-aggressive narcissism and the importance of healthy assertiveness and emotional intelligence.
