| I can answer questions about the subject of passive aggressiveness. Do you feel manipulated and frustrated by a date, a mate, a friend or relative? People often play the game of passive aggressiveness by withholding information that you want, and by "obstructionism." They communicate their angry feelings in subtle ways such as making you wait, withholding reassurance or affection, avoiding any fulfillment of your emotional needs, and many other kinds of obstinence and subterfuge. It can be completely frustrating and crazy making when you feel like you can't put your finger on what they are doing because they claim innocence so strongly. It's all about control. And pushing your buttons in order to satisfy their dysfunctional need to control your emotions. | Available
