Relating to a passive-aggressive person can be a difficult experience, with many moments of frustration, anger, and despair.
In passive strategies, you communicate in a way that protects the other personâs interests at the expense of yours. Aggressive strategies represent the other extreme where you communicate in a way that protects your interests at the expense of the other personâs. Assertive communication strategies lie in the middle. These strategies depend on approaches that protect the interests of both parties in the communication â yours and the other personâs. Assertive communication approaches represent a range of techniques rather than a single point on the continuum. Some of the approaches lie a little to the left of middle â they are a little more passive â and other approaches lie a little to the right of middle â they are a little more aggressive.
