passive behavior

Passive behavior involves prioritizing others’ needs or opinions over one's own, often avoiding conflict or confrontation. People exhibiting passive behavior may have difficulty expressing their feelings or standing up for themselves, leading to feelings of frustration or resentment. It is characterized by a tendency to go along with others, avoid assertiveness, and suppress personal desires to maintain peace or avoid disagreement. While it can help prevent immediate conflict, prolonged passive behavior may hinder personal growth and relationships. Understanding and addressing passive tendencies can lead to healthier communication and more balanced interactions.
