passive agressive is also when someone gives you the 'silent treatment' too. Its when someone doesn't want to talk to you because you've made them upset, and they just know you're there but ignore you, maybe to make you get the picture theyre upset and to maybe make you upset too. its being agressive, but indirectly.

Alright- to explain this- I'll have to set up a fake scene. Let's say you and I get into an argument and you are my friend. You take back something I gave to you awhile back- like a friendship ring or something. Then let's say tomorrow we're at a party together and I'm talking to a few friends and I say, "Boy, I really think its dumb when people take things back from other people- isn't that SO lame? People that do that are just dumb," etc., etc.
What I would be telling people would make me passive-aggressive. If I was active-aggressive, I would be telling you that you were dumb to your face. Being passive about it would mean I wasn't saying it to your face, but I meant you to hear what I said.
Does that clear it up?
