Are you passive-aggressive? WhatEVER!


Whatever. That’s a passive aggressive statement. 

A lot of us make them every day - and here is a list of the most common offending phrases that suggest your a PAP - a passive aggressive person:

* "I'm not mad." Denying feelings is typical PAP behavior.

* "Fine." "Whatever." Shutting down or sulking is a favorite strategy for PAPs.

* "I'm coming!" Passive aggressive persons will often verbally comply with a request, then slow down on completion.

* "I thought you knew." or “I told you that.” PAPs would rather make the other person feel at fault than admit their own.

* "Just kidding." Backhanded compliments or sarcasm - classic PAP.
