Dear Fiona,
Thank you for writing to me about your Passive Aggressive Personality disorder. You told me that you recently had a huge argument with a friend, and you want to get back together but you don’t know how. You also told me that you try to ignore them, or do not care about them to make it seem like you’re not needy but that you honestly feel lonely and just want their attention. If you want them to know about your Passive Aggressive Personality disorder to make them understand you, maybe you should tell them. They’re your friends after all! If they can’t accept you for who you are after knowing about your passive aggressive personality disorder, don’t waste time being friends with them. This doesn't mean that you can use their kindness against them. You also have to work on it. To make the situation with your friend better, first of all, you shouldn't be ignoring them and have a sulky attitude. Instead, try talking it out. Talk to them about the situation, and tell them how you are feeling, and why you are feeling that way. Maybe there may be some misunderstandings going on, which usually does happen in arguments when you let your temper control you. God will provide right friends for you that are filled with patience and love, but that doesn't mean you can use them as objects by using them as shelters for you when you feel vulnerable. There is no cure or medical treatment for this personality disorder, but a counselor would definitely be able to help you out with your disorder. You can find more about counseling by going to http://www.forrelationshiphelp.com/3976/relationship-help-passive-aggressive-behavior-is-crazy-making. Dr. Shaler is willing to have Skype calls with people who struggle with passive aggressive disorder behaviors. Don’t think that just because you have a personality disorder, that you won’t be able to live a “normal” life. Know that counseling, having support from family or friends, and God can make you fulfill a good life. Trust in God in whatever happens. Through him patience can rest upon you! God can work in miraculous ways. Don’t avoid your family and friends when they are willing to help you. Take that hand. Counseling is also very important. It helps you reflect who you are, what you should do, and how you should abide with the disorder. You are NOT the only person who has this disorder, please don’t think that you are the only person in the world with this disorder. You WILL be able to overcome this disorder if you wish to and make the effort to. Live with hope, faith, and trust Fiona. Email me whenever, I will be here to help you out. Thank you for being honest with me Fiona.
