To try and tell me that passive aggression doesn't stem from self pity is bull.

confused. to begin with, several days/weeks worth of your posts appear on my blogger homepage all at once, so i don't keep up regularly. weird. also, what's the argument that passive aggression DOES stem from self-pity?
ReplyDelete1.yea, i have no idea why the posts clog and then spew in unwanted numbers on your homepage- sorry! I would put an end to it if I knew why it does that.
ReplyDelete2.When a person is passive aggressive I usually interpret it as them choosing (enjoying/indulging in) the act of wallowing around in their problems and whining to others, rather than going to the source and being pro-active in changing the circumstances that upset them.
I refuse to be yelled at for things that Im not made aware of right then and there- or at least within the same week; especially, if I have told them in the past to let me know so that I could be given the chance to make an effort not to aggravate them further.gr. If they don't trust my friendly request then they won't receive much sympathy from me. With all that said, i still try an discern the specific occasion and person before I react because I believe that passive aggression is learned; I can't go on an anger rampage if it's all that they know. When I wrote the post, however, i had just finished dealing with some one who had yelled at me for the 8th time with a whole separate list of grievances. Sorry but going on the 8th time makes me think that they enjoy it- i got sick of repeating the sugar coated grow a spine pep talk.
