What does it mean for a person to be passive aggressive?

I finally found out what my 20 year frustration was all about - being married to a passive-aggressive man. I believe this is a learned behavior - perhaps from the mother. This man did not know how to show anger - I actually thought that I was the luckiest person because he never got mad at me! - He would get quiet and not talk and for years when I asked him what was wrong and he would say "nothing", I actually believed him! Then as time went on, I began to feel crazier and crazier~!! This man never took up for me, he even took up for the dog over me one time! One time a so-called friend of his was sooo rude to him - and he acted like it was perfectly ok - but I was mad about it - see, he didn't have to be mad because he used me for that. I have since found out that he is showing more anger than he used to - perhaps because he is single now and there is noone for him to use. This man would act as if he were going to get me something and then after years of waiting, I finally became upset about it - because each holiday i would think that I was going to get it and I would not. He took our child to a car lot before her birthday - would that not make a child think he was going to get a car for her birthday? - she received it 4 years later! When we would finally get something he promised, he would say "oh, I can't believe you picked that one, because I was going to get you (it would be something better)." One time he cleaned the garage and piled all my things to the ceiling so I couldn't reach them. Oh, well, this marriage ended because he refused to think anything could be wrong with him - he would turn everything around to make it seem as if I had a problem - it was crazy-making!
Passive-aggressive behavior is antisocial behavior that is not overt. For example, purposely speaking in a low voice when you know someone is having trouble hearing you, or drying your hands on your partner's towel when they are not really clean.

What is hocd?

HOCD is a type of Pure Obsessional OCD. It is more of mental things, when things constantly repeat over and over again. Inside the mind, and you have extreme anxiety and avoid anything that would trigger that thought.

When someone has HOCD, it's when they have a fear of being with the opposite sex or the same sex (Straight person afraid of being gay, and a gay person afraid of being straight) It may seem ridiculous but it can be very bad for the person and can lead to severe depression. Usually these people are not homophobic and vice versa, but the mind repeats itself many hours of that day, as if it's trying to convince you. Even if the sufferer knows it's not true, and repeating does not stop.

There is other forms of Pure-O. Relationships, Religion, Violence etc. Look Pure-O online and you will find more info.

Is inner conflict a natural state of man?

Yes !!!

Inner Conflict is the natural state of man.

Karen Horney Psychoanalyst wrote a book "Inner Conflict" about man's inner conflict.

J. Krishnamurti has referred to man's inner conflict as the root cause of war. Division, Fragmentation and conflict is in almost every organization created by man, especially Religious Organizations. Religious Wars and Political Wars of Greed, Power over other nations are a result of man's inner conflict. The Spiritual Teaching of "JK" is to live a life without "Inner Conflict."

"Inner Conflict" is the natural state of man when you read the writings of "Erich Fromm", especially his book "The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness" ( 1973 ).

UG Krishnamurti wrote a book "The Natural State", meaning the natural state of man & the natural state of mans mind without inner conflict.

Eckhart Tolle writes about the "Natural State", a very rare "State of Mind" that has to do with Eckhart Tolle's spiritual teaching. "ET" uses the concept of "Presence, Being, Love, Joy, Bliss, very Deep Peace" as the Natural State of Man. But nobody is born with this natural state.

We as a human species are Fragmented & Divided at birth into male of female and conditioned for survival from birth to death. We are born into inner conflict and our choices create conflict within us every day. Where there is a choice there is conflict. In some ways we cannot avoid inner conflict.

Inner Conflict which we all have from birth and life experiences is part of our Dualistic Human Nature.

So the answer to the question is Yes !!

Inner Conflict is the Natural State of Mankind and creates the mental disorders of the afflicting emotions, depression, anxiety, anger, sadness, sorrow & human destructiveness.

How common is generalized anxiety disorder?

According to Epigee.org in the mental health section of the website, mysophobia is very common in the United States.

However, mysophobia doesn't usually stand alone as it's own mental disorder, but is usually coexisting with other disorders such as hypochondria, since these individuals already have an intense fear of being sick. Also, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is linked as being another coexisting mental disorder that goes hand in hand with this phobia as well.

Then again, fear that is instigated from more knowledge and exposure of such widespread conditions as the AIDS epidemic, and I guess even N1H1 back when it was first seen as a threat could also account for estimating how common mysophobia is. In truth, I don't think there is an exact estimate or census as to exactly how many people suffer from this altogether.
