Passive Aggressive

I've been accused, on more than one occasion of being passive-aggressive.  I've been guilty some of the times, and sometimes not.  On the occasions of my guilt, I have (eventually) recognized my own shortcomings and owned them.  It's not always sufficient to mitigate the damage done by the original transgression, but I take pride in "owning my shit," so to speak.

My personal brand of PA is often expressed in veiled comments about unnamed people, cryptic references, or false agreement.  I don't think I have ever sent an anonymous message to someone calling them out, and I know that I have never posted anything anonymously in public calling someone out for their shortcomings.

I have also made a concerted effort to be more direct of late, as I am beginning to recognize the potential damage that passive-aggressiveness can do.  Eventually, I may be able to eliminate the fault entirely from my repertoire, and focus on all of my other faults.
