These 4 Birth Months Are The Most Passive-Aggressive

Some people hide a tiger beneath their calm appearance, and these birth months are prime examples. They may smile, nod, or act polite, but don’t mistake that for weakness. Their passive-aggressive tendencies are subtle, calculated, and often devastatingly effective. We all have our moments, but these months take it to another level. Read on to see if your birth month is a powerhouse of passive-aggressive energy.

April

Those born in April are passive-aggressive when they try to show restraint. They can’t say nothing when they’re irritated, so the best they can do to refrain from leaping across the table at someone’s throat, panther style, is to let a snide remark slip through their lips. The fighter in them can’t sit by and let anyone step over them like a literal crosswalk. They are built to bite back, to bark at the slightest sign of trouble. They know that half of the people out there who think they can take on an antagonistic position against someone born in April have no clue what they’re signing up for. Someone born in April knows how to make themselves seem larger than life, how to make noise, how to maintain eye contact without showing the slightest indication of fear. Think about an outdoorsman encountering a bear—someone born in April is armed with the same techniques and experience to take on anyone without actually having to draw blood.

September

Someone born in September is a metaphoric Pez dispenser, but instead of shooting out nostalgic little pieces of candy from their mouths, they are verbal ninja stars. You better be careful because those quips have a velocity and accuracy unlike any other sign of the year. Their cup of sarcasm runneth over, like a fondue fountain nobody wanted to pay for but now has to eat from because it’s been paid for. Those with September birthdays find it too intellectually insulting to have to state their grievances in plain English; whoever the guilty party is should learn the manners or the wherewithal to comfort themselves in a way that’s not so grating on their nerves. September natives can ask for what they want in literally every other aspect of their life—career, finance, romance—but they can’t just ask someone directly to stop chewing loudly. Instead they’ll write a manifesto on the topic and post it on the gram, hoping it gets shared enough to make it to its intended audience.

June

People born in June always bite off more than they can chew, and it inevitably causes issues when they come to a point where they cannot possibly make everyone happy. And instead of just level setting with the relevant parties, they start to foster resentment. Resentment that they were asked to do so much in the first place, resentment that they felt they had to say yes, resentment that they have to deal with attitude from other people who don’t want to compete for their time and attention. They let it all bottle up until they self-implode, but there is very, very, long fuse before that dynamite explodes. And along the way, they let themselves vent their frustration in the most passive aggressive ways imaginable. They will fight about literally everything and anything but the actual issue that’s bothering them. God save anyone they find themselves on the road with—there’s bound to be honking and screaming galore.

January

Someone born in January is the type that’s going to join the homeowners association and have bylaws adopted before they’ll ever deign to knock on a neighbor’s door and ask them to turn down their music. Their retaliation and revenge is complex and delayed, but to someone born in January, nothing is sweeter. They will wait days and weeks to ensure their perpetrators are punished, but the likelihood this person realizes their punishment is arriving via someone born in January is slim to none. Someone born in January is undoubtedly the source of that infamous Amazon review for sugar-free gummy bears—the person who left a bowl of them on their desk for unexpecting coworkers to take and suffer unspeakable digestive consequences. Such are the ways of a passive-aggressive January—so passive, in fact, that nobody could even accuse them of the aggression.
