There's a wikipedia page on it, check that out, it has loads of examples of this behaviour.
Do you think you know someone with this problem? I know someone right now, specifically my bf's flatmate, who is exhibiting this kind of behaviour and he's making my bf's time at home pretty uncomfortable and outright tense. It's incredibly uncool. |
thank, yeah i do think i know someone, but im not sure what theyre doing, passive agressive makes sence in the 2 words, passive and agressive? theyd be like angry with someone but never tell them and let it come out in little comments?
like they cant just say what they think?
argh this is making no sence
for example . . . . . someone shouts ARE YOU TWO HAVING SEX UP THERE
the the passive agreesive says , hes not my type . . .
that doesnt sound very strange but in thr situation, where they are pissed off with the person but wont say anything about it? like they WANT TO SAY MEAN THINGS but just wont? in stead of laughing it off as the joke it was they say something like this?
this person is ALWAYS 'happy' and lovely and sweet and you wouldnt think they would be able to be angry or shout ever but sometimes you just KNOW they want too?
im trying to think of examples but i cant right now......
