Can you give me an example m2c? I have heard the term before. I know what sarcastic is and snarky but this passive aggressive thing makes no sense. I looked it up in the dictionary and it still makes no sense. It is listed as a personality disorder in the dictionary and the examples given are procrastination, stubbornness and pouting. It honestly sounds like bullsh** to me. If someone is trying to force you to do something you don't want to do you refuse. That's being stubborn. It is also being very logical. Everyone procrastinates. There are things you have to do that you don't particularly like so you put them off.
Sometimes by delaying the doing they take care of themselves. Not often but it does happen. If you like doing something you do it right away. If you don't you delay hoping it will go away. As for pouting geez. When I'm disappointed about something I SHOW it. It may be disappointment in myself or others or a situaation. But I sure as he** am NOT all happy facey sweetie piesy. So unless you can give me an example that makes sense (the dictionary does not) I think passive aggressive is nonsense bullsh** that people use to insult others with no there there. I mean calling someone passive aggressive is NEVER a compliment, right? It is an accusation/insult/dig. Totally meaningless as far as I am concerned. Your turn! Thanks.
