Types of Passive Aggressives: Malicious type. Some passive-aggressive people deliberately attempt to cause the other person to become angry so as to displace their own feelings of anger onto the recipient. In this situation, if a man has a bad day at work he can create an argument at home in a passive-aggressive manner and then take his anger out on his wife. For instance, he comes home, glances around and asks What have you been doing today? When his wife becomes defensive Are you saying that Im lazy? he responds with You are really over-reacting! I was only curious about what you did today. You are so sensitive and I cant even talk to you! Unintentionally hurtful type. Another type of passive-aggressive person we could label as the passive passive-aggressive. Typically, they are trying not to hurt the other person but in the process may unintentionally cause frustration or irritation. This person also is trying to control the other person such as trying to control the other persons emotions. They dont want the other person to feel bad so they will try to refrain from any communication that may seem negative. However, their feelings may be readable at a nonverbal level. Unfortunately, the other person may not read the feelings accurately. -Excelatlife
