Passive aggressive behaviour
« on: October 15, 2007, 06:41:08 pm »
I can't think of anything that irritates me more than passive aggressive behaviour.  I'm not sure if it's me but it seems as though I'm meeting far too many people with this problem.  I've had at least one passive agressive roommate at a time for the past four years.  I've been working for people where I've either been micromanaged by someone with serious passive aggresive behaviour problems, or for the owner themselves who chooses to get out their frustrations with passive aggresive behaviour.   This sort of approach almost never leads to resolution of the hurt sides frustrations.  I just don't get why people can't be more direct.  Is it really that hard to speak your mind and let someone know where they stand as opposed to playing irritating games that give you a moment of victory while deep down inside you know you're still losing the war?  It usually ends up that these people let things build and build until they just lash out in a manner that is not at all in proportion to the immediate problem at hand.  It almost feels as though this "epidemic" should be rivalling obesity in terms of how widespread it's become...  Booo to the passive aggresive!

I don't have a problem with speaking my mind if you haven't noticed. It saves time and cuts to the chase. It actually irritates me when people have to bs around everything instead of just saying what is on their mind..

No Queen, you definitely don't fit into this category.  I agree, I just don't see why people can't get to the point instead of tip toe-ing around it...

I live with two people who display a lot of passive aggressive behavior.  It normally results in as Philly posted above someone leaving a note rather than speaking directly about it to the other person.  It does get quite frustrating I still love them though and wouldn't want to live with anyone else!

For those who are interested...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_agressive.  I see lots of behavior from others in the list of examples.  I don't see any of my behaviors listed, though!    :D

That Wikipedia list pretty much describes like, every human being... like, ever. In life.

Oh god. D: I just made an excuse. I must be passive-aggressive.



Actually, I can be. I don't mind it so much. My ex is really passive-aggressive and it still sort of irritates me, but I've learned that if I confront him about an issue he normally picks it up and confronts me straight-forward back - he just needs someone to start the conversation. It's like the ONLY way we ever work through anything with our friendship. For me to call him out and bitch at him and then he feels free to do the same. And then later we hug and make up. Teenagers are impossible.

I just responded to a work email in a rather aggressive manner, pointing out all of my organisations prior committments to a certain individual. Then ensued a number of emails back and forth. I received a final email inviting me to a meeting to resolve the issue. I quickly refused, stating that I really didn't care what happened and that it was no concern of mine.

I don't know if that makes me passive/aggressive, aggessive/passive or what!!!

But, I do know one thing, and that is that I was damn RIGHT, like I always am.  ;D
