"Oh wow, you actually did a great job this time!" Backhanded compliments are a classic sign of passive aggression.
Ignoring messages, avoiding eye contact, or responding with one-word answers? These are all ways they express dislike without confrontation.
They ‘forget’ to invite you, withhold important information, or make things harder for you in small, intentional ways.
They act overly nice in public but treat you differently in private. Their words and actions don’t match.
Instead of openly expressing their feelings, they make passive remarks like, "I guess you’re too busy for your old friends now."
