So where would "correcting someone a lot" fall into that? Because my boss does that with me and I've done that with other people, but my boss seems very nice about it and I know I mean well when I do that with other people, but I've been called passive-aggressive and one of my friends said my boss sounds passive-aggressive. I've gotten the impression that correcting anyone on anything is somehow passive-aggressive, but that seems like overreacting/not quite right.

I do not think it is passive-agressive in itsef, though some passive-agressive people use correcting as masked criticism that is basically malicious.

If you feel neither of you are, then chances are that the person calling you that might be recognizing it as part of a pattern of someone else they know, even if your motivations are completely different. If that makes sense.

It does, but just to make sure I'm interpreting it right: because they've been passive-aggressively criticized a lot (by someone who was doing so maliciously), they assume all criticism or just a lot of criticism is the same thing, even when it's not?

That would be my guess, yes.
