Re: How do you define passive aggressive?

[nyxelestia]

If I want something cleaned up, then I get impatient and starting cleaning it myself, I don't see how that would be malicious or "passively aggressive". That's "I need this place clean, and if you won't do it I will". If I'm really irritated about it, I'll...confront them directly about it. Is that passive-aggressive? If so, how the hell would you clean something up without it being passive-aggressive, if you've already asked someone to clean it and they don't? The only way I can see is for you to wait until they leave, but that isn't always going to happen anytime soon, so...

And how do you tell apart fake sympathy from real sympathy? I used to think it was obvious but I am increasingly unsure. o.O

I'm just not sure what to do with that last one. People tell embarrassing past stories all the time for fun, so I'm not sure how to tell when it's being done out of anger...?

Re: How do you define passive aggressive?

The key with a p-a cleaning is doing it in a demonstrative fashion looking to get a reaction. Like "I need to guilt them into doing it". Intent matters I think. This hepothetical untidy roommate would notice the p-a because of a frown, irritated movements and too loud sighs. Or a stony silence, that works too.

Well, telling someone 'Poor you, are you seek?'
And the other answers: 'No. Oo'
And the first one goes: 'Oh maybe you just didn't get enough sleep'
The person: ':('
In the above there's no way the symphathy was genuene! Usually it's all in the intonation and a subtext. Like do these people even like each other?

For ex., A forgot the B's Birthday. B isquietly fuming. They go to see friends. B tells all the embarassing stories looking at A from time to time. A grits teeth and tries to interupt the flow politely. The friends are oblivious.
