How do passive communicators often react in a complex or stressful situation

Passive communicators will keep their opinions unvoiced and to themselves in stressful or complex situations. Passive means to be inactive in how you act and react to any situation, it is when you take a stand back and either don't get involved in situations at all or you don't let your opinions known to others. It's like being in the background in situations.  

age might have something to do with behavior depending on the age because not everyone who is the same age acts the same like 2 year olds could have bad behavior but some won't.

i hope this : )
