Which personality disorder is characterized by negative attitudes and resistance to others' demands?

Passive-aggressive personality disorder is characterized by a pattern of negative attitudes and a tendency to resist or undermine the demands of others, often covertly. Individuals with this disorder may express their hostility or resentment in indirect ways, such as procrastination, stubbornness, or deliberate inefficiency, rather than confronting issues openly. This behavior often results in interpersonal difficulties because others may find it challenging to understand the underlying emotions or intentions.

In contrast, histrionic personality disorder involves excessive emotionality and attention-seeking behavior, avoidant personality disorder is marked by a pervasive pattern of social inhibition and feelings of inadequacy, and dependent personality disorder features a strong need to be taken care of, leading to submissive and clinging behaviors. None of these disorders primarily emphasize the combination of negative attitudes and resistance to demands as found in passive-aggressive personality disorder.
