Can a person who is passive be swayed by a strong personality to not believe things said about you? Or even if they don't believe it be afraid to say otherwise leading others to believe that he agrees with the aggressive one?

I think it more depends on their convictions. Passive people can have either strong convictions or not so strong convictions. You would think it would be easier to sway a passive person but I think that is a generality. But each person is different. YOu would have to go to the individual himself and ask.

Thanks Reena for your thoughful reply.
In the situation I'm thinking of that concernes me, I think yes. Yes, because this person has a fear of man and doesn't have the strength to disagree whereas can be easily convinced that black is white when it is not or it is gray. And if a person is in a responsible position especially on a secular level that can be damaging when it is against another person who could be forced out of their position.
