  • 159. Sugar-Coated Anger: Understanding Passive Aggression
    Oct 6 2025

    Passive aggression is conflict in disguise, characterised by indirect resistance, sugar-coated jabs and strategic delays. In this episode, we unpack what passive aggression is, why it shows up in otherwise kind people, and how to replace sideways signals with clear, respectful language. You’ll get short scripts for saying the real thing and a calm, practical way to respond when passive aggression is aimed at you.


    You’ll learn

    • A clean definition of passive aggression
    • Common forms: delaying tasks, backhanded compliments, 'forgetting', weaponised precision, performative 'it’s fine'
    • The psychology underneath: fear of conflict, power asymmetries, attachment triggers
    • How to be less passive aggressive
    • How to respond as a recipient
