In passive-aggressive communication, the speaker is generally considered to be the least honest. This style involves indirect expression of hostility or frustration, which can lead to ambiguity and dishonesty in communication. Unlike assertive communication, which is open and honest, or even aggressive communication, which is straightforward albeit forceful, passive-aggressive behavior tends to mask true feelings and intentions.
