When people display passive aggressive behaviors it’s often because it’s been unacceptable to express certain kinds of feelings- like anger, resentment, frustration. They may have had a parent or adult who didn’t hear their needs or their needs didn’t count.
Passive aggression is a learned pattern of being unassertive as a coping strategy for not being able to express your own feelings. As females somewhere along the line you likely learned girls should be accommodating, non confrontational, take care of others and don’t hurt their feelings... so emotions get stuffed down and ignored... until they can't be ignored any longer.
