A passive aggressive response is a communicative response which can obstruct an interpersonal relationship. It is often sarcastic and inward feeling leading to the receiver trying to reexplain their thoughts or becoming aggressive, passive or assertive. Often a person can become passive aggressive in their personality trait. It should be noted however that all people can reply in a passive aggressive nature even if it is not their nature.

Passive aggression refers to expressing negative feelings or aggression in an indirect or subtle way, such as through sarcasm, silent treatment, or backhanded compliments. It can be an unhealthy way of dealing with conflict or anger, as it typically involves avoiding direct communication and can lead to misunderstandings and resentment in relationships.
