I think that perfectionism and passive-aggressiveness can be related. This can particularly show up if you tend to procrastinate (put off taking action). For example, if you are a perfectionist, then you might be reluctant to do anything if you can't do it perfectly. Where passive-aggressiveness comes into play is that you then start blaming other people for your lack of action. The way to change is first take responsibility for your own choices. Next, take action! Break the task down into small steps that you know you can do. If you want to lose weight, then maybe you can't lose 30 pounds in 30 days - but can you work on losing 1 pound by substituting one soda pop for a cup of water? When you take small steps every day toward the things you say you want, then your confidence and faith goes up. Hi Lisa – Thanks for your post!

The articles may be a few years old, but they are ministering to me exctly where I am!! I am asking God to show me how to value myself and set boundaries, etc. It is getting a little better, but I have a ways to go. Can that passive agressiveness show up in perfectionism? Just wondering. Keep up the God work, Kim!!! Lisa P. :) This message is such a blessing!!!!! The articles may be a few years old, but they are ministering to me exctly where I am!!
