Someone told you they are passive aggressive with an impulse disorder what does that mean?
Dmaroney
Passive-aggressive people vent their anger indirectly. They are the people who key cars when someone cuts them out of their parking space, or show up two hours late and spoil an evening that someone is looking forward to. (Gee, I'm sorry, but I had to....)
Impulse disorders involve a person's inability or unwillingness to learn to control impulses. Such a person is likely to make poor decisions by reacting to situations instead of thinking them through. (Remember the car keying?)
Healthy people wait until they regain their composure. Then, if necessary they confront the real issue, rather than projecting their anger onto other people and situations.
The two, taken together, would probably make it quite difficult for a person to interact with the rest of their world in an effective, cooperative way.
