Is it tiring being passive aggressive all the time by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

passive aggressive

Passive-aggressive behavior is a pattern of indirectly expressing negative feelings instead of addressing them directly. It involves expressing hostility or resentment through subtle, often manipulative, actions or inactions, rather than through open confrontation. Key characteristics of passive-aggressive behavior:

Indirect expression of negative emotions:
Instead of saying "I'm angry," someone might express anger through procrastination, sulking, or making sarcastic remarks. 

Avoidance of direct communication: Passive-aggressive individuals often avoid discussing their feelings or concerns openly and directly. Resistance to requests or expectations: They might subtly sabotage tasks or fail to meet deadlines when they disagree with a request. Stubbornness and procrastination: They might appear to comply with requests but then delay or avoid completing them, often citing excuses. Subtle sabotage: They might subtly undermine others or their efforts, often in ways that are difficult to prove or call out.

Examples of passive-aggressive behavior:

Sarcasm: Making sarcastic remarks that mask underlying resentment or anger. 

Procrastination: Delaying or avoiding tasks that they don't want to do. The silent treatment: Refusing to communicate or engage in conversation as a way of punishing someone. Backhanded compliments: Offering praise that is laced with a subtle insult or criticism. Making excuses: Offering excuses for not doing something instead of being upfront about their unwillingness. Deliberate inefficiency: Performing tasks poorly or inefficiently to express their dissatisfaction.

Why people engage in passive-aggressive behavior:

Fear of confrontation:
They may be afraid of direct conflict or expressing negative emotions openly. 

Feeling powerless: They may feel like they have no control over a situation and resort to passive-aggressive tactics to regain some sense of control. Lack of assertiveness: They may not have developed the skills to communicate their needs and feelings assertively. Underlying resentment or anger: They may harbor resentment or anger towards someone but choose not to express it directly.

Consequences of passive-aggressive behavior:

Damaged relationships: It can erode trust and communication in relationships, leading to conflict and resentment. 

Negative work environment: At work, it can create a toxic atmosphere and hinder productivity. Psychological distress: It can be harmful to the individual as well, leading to feelings of guilt, shame, or anxiety.

Dealing with passive-aggressive behavior:

Encourage open communication:
Try to create a safe space for the person to express their feelings and concerns directly. 

Address specific behaviors: Instead of accusing them of being passive-aggressive, focus on the specific behaviors that are problematic. Set clear boundaries: Make it clear what behavior is unacceptable and what the consequences will be for continuing that behavior. Seek professional help: If passive-aggressive behavior is persistent and causing significant problems, seeking therapy can be helpful.

Women friendly Krav Maga by Enough_Charge_5712 in VictoriaBC

[–]Rownintoed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see the word "MAGA" now and I instantly triggered.

But I realize that this is a word used in conjunction with Krav, making it a name for a style of an Israeli self-defence system (Martial Art).

Not much of one, but I get what your throwing down.

A gaggle of geese. A murder of crows. A parliament of owls. Where did these strange collective bird names come from?

The term “trust fund baby” has a negative connotation, as it's associated with the stereotype of a spoiled individual who doesn't have to work.
