explain passive aggression to me?

Ive been studying myself and i have come to the conclusion that i might be passive aggressive. I fit all the qualities, but in a much less extreme way.. I am not an extreme person, i dont really have extremes on both ends. I use passive aggression as a first stage and if asked or bothered again i more openly express my anger or frustration in a calm way, i dont yet. i never yell.

As someone else described, someone else is a "passive aggressive punk a*s b*tch" .. however when i am described as passive aggressive, it is just passive aggressive and not a passive aggressive a*shole.

if you sort of understand my question, in short, is passice aggression just passive aggression or are there different levels of passive aggression. is all passive aggression bad?

    It depends. Its explanation differs from place to place. Person to person, such perceptions vary according to their level of wisdom.

    Honestly speaking and to be frank with you, basically, I don't want to break my head because yours is not a question at all. Here in Yahoo, fortunately or unfortunately answer remains silent when there is no specific question from your side.

    Nothing is bad if you have crystal clear mind and pristine pure heart.

    Its basically when a person takes out there anger indirectly.

    So snapping about the a dish in the sink when you're really frustrated that the person has invaded a personal boundary. That's passive aggressive
