Why are some people passive-aggressive?

[Dongie]

I googled this, and by taking the advice of Google, it would have me treating a person of this nature in the same manner that put the person in this category. It's also a narcissistic mannerism.

[FunkyMonkee]

They've had a shitty life and no matter what they do to get rid of it, it's ALWAYS there so, the best they can do is become sarcastic and show how bad they've got it without going off the deep end to show it.

[Dongie]

Nah, that's not it.

[Caroline91]

Hey, Funks... wanna go off the deep end together?

[Caroline91]

I bet you get there first 'cause you the super tall one!!

[DishLady]

(PA isn’t really a sarcastic thing.)

[FunkyMonkee]

@Caroline91 OOO, BABY!!

[Dongie]

Whatchew mean PA?

[Caroline91]

@FunkyMonkee Does OOO, BABY!! mean yes? Keep it simple for your simple minded girl, Funky!!

[FunkyMonkee]

@Caroline91 I didn't think I could make it any simpler!
How about, "OOT, GREET!!"

[Dongie]

Oh, I see, PA

[FunkyMonkee]

Peeing Ahtside.

[Dongie]

Passionate ass

[Juxtapose]

They do that to maintain plausible deniability and attack you if you try to call them out. Then you will look like the bad guy & they win.

[Dongie]

Good answer.

[Juxtapose]

Thanks 👍

[Dongie]

I have a feeling you are up on all these types of attacks, whether they be sneaky or in your face.🧤

[DishLady]

@Juxtapose knows what’s up.

[Dongie]

He does all the day long.

[Juxtapose]

Thanks! I try to understand underlying motives.

[Dongie]

That's a defensive mechanism.

[Juxtapose]

Damn right, it's a life saver. Ssssoooooo many would LOVE to take my kindness as a weakness. Not on my watch!

[Dongie]

Yep. I see you nearly every day at it. Some days, I have to ignore and tell them not today. They leave me alone when I do this. At least they have so far.

[DishLady]

They’re too chicken to be direct about what they want or don’t want.

[Dongie]

Yep, it does speak a lot about the chicken gene.

[Caroline91]

I really can't say 'cause I don't have eyes in the back of my head!

[Dongie]

What? How you need eyes in the back of your head to see the symptoms of passive-aggression?

[Caroline91]

"Cause I am walking away fast as I can go! An' all that passive-aggressive bore is gonna see is the back of my head...

[Dongie]

Ya'ok

[thearchjoker]

Because they lack the cordage to be blunt about it so instead they take it out in a load of small petty ways

[Dongie]

True it is.

[Dongie]

Nah, they feel superior and actually believe they are ascending the high road when, in fact, their smug dirty undertones are the path to hell.

[DJB72]

Because pulling people's arms and legs off is currently illegal...

[NathanDavis]

I just fire them...

[Caroline91]

And THAT is the exact opposite of passive-aggressive!

[NathanDavis]

well, Texas didn't build itself on procrastination... lol

[Caroline91]

Texas, huh? I got nothing... being from California. lol

[NathanDavis]

@Caroline91 hopefully... from the region with the nicer weather, lol

[Caroline91]

@NathanDavis I had a charmed childhood and teen years going back and forth between San Diego and San Francisco Bay Area. My dad was commissioned Naval officer.

[NathanDavis]

@Caroline91 oh yeah, that does sound like good, great times

[Dongie]

Wow, like Crissy from 3s company.

[Caroline91]

Yesss! and underneath all of my dark brown curls, I am really a dumb blond!!

[NathanDavis]

@Caroline91 I'm dumb at heart...

[Dongie]

I like dumb blondes

[NathanDavis]

don't like that much @Dongie...

[Caroline91]

@NathanDavis I'm sick at hear to hear that...

[Caroline91]

*heart

[NathanDavis]

@Caroline91 to hear what exactly...

@Dongie don't bother her...

[Caroline91]

@NathanDavis that you are dumb at heart, but I WILL recover!

[NathanDavis]

@Caroline91 some of my jokes, really are... but they still come from a good place, lmao

[Caroline91]

@NathanDavis but I corrected hear to heart it was a typo

[NathanDavis]

undo this hurt that you caused

when you walked out the door, and walked out, of my life 🎶🎵

[Caroline91]

Don’t worry 🎵 Be happy!🎶

[NathanDavis]

@Caroline91 lmao...

[Dongie]

Unbreakable my heart🎶🎵

[Dongie]

Fuckin spell check

[Caroline91]

@dongie Gotta spell check that spell check!

[Dongie]

I'm born and raised here in east Texas. 🤠

[Dongie]

Nate, leave her alone, she's married to a military guy.

[Caroline91]

Misconception... My dad was military. My husband heads a humanitarian aid organization. Because of that, he does spend time in areas with a lot of unrest.

[Dongie]

Oh, I miss read you.

[Dongie]

Well that's nice.

[Caroline91]

I guess a lot of people think he's military because he's on assignment for a definite amount of time. And he is out of the country a lot. He generally goes in to provide aid both in military situations and natural disasters. I'm very proud of what he does.

[Dongie]

Fema? I hope you enjoyed his time home.

[Caroline91]

It's a private international agency. His time home has been great! Thanks🙂

[NathanDavis]

@dongie she's always being nice to me... @Caroline91 she's never bothered me, I do appreciate her always having some input or opinion on my comments, and she's funny as well, lmao

[NathanDavis]

also... nothing that wrong with military people, here in Texas, I guess everyone has at least some relative in the military branches, lol

[Dongie]

What took you so long?

[NathanDavis]

took me so long to... what exactly?

learn the ABC backwards? I still haven't learned it backwards, lmao

[Dongie]

It's been over a month since I left that for ya!!

[NathanDavis]

and here we are... here and to day, all good

[Caroline91]

@dongie @NathanDavis Can either of you translate this for me?

[Dongie]

I can't, truly.

[NathanDavis]

@Caroline91 translate what? sure... I can try

[Caroline91]

@NathanDavis Whatever it was you guys just said to each other?

[NathanDavis]

@Caroline91 oh, I am never really sure on what @dongie is going about, lmao

but hey, nice to see you again, I hope you've been mostly well (=

[Dongie]

🤷‍♂️🥂😠

[Caroline91]

@NathanDavis For sure I have. But, where have you been?

[NathanDavis]

@Caroline91 working a bit too much, got really busy as of late... but I am back on track and onto more calm waters, lol

[Dongie]

It's drizzled and foggy all day here. High 72⁰ low tonight 65⁰

My kinda weather.

[Caroline91]

@NathanDavis Glad to hear it. I am particularly fond of calmer waters... unless it's related to bodysurfing!!

[NathanDavis]

@Caroline91 oh wow... bodysurfing?

are you into that? if so... that's very impressive

[Caroline91]

Yay! We're expecting 57° tonight, but it was down in high 40s earlier in the week.

[NathanDavis]

@Caroline91 Fahrenheit? lol... is that on cold waters?

[Caroline91]

@NathanDavis Unfortunately, for I'm not living near the ocean now, but grew up in San Diego, San Franciso, and Long Beach. Right on the Pacific Ocean. My profile page pic is one of the places I lived. I've bodysurfed my entire life. Not too many girls take on the Wedge in Newport Beach, but I followed my big brother everywhere I could. lol

[NathanDavis]

@Caroline91 40F temps during September... I do need to move further north already, lol

but yeah, that's what wetsuits are for no? or... is it about the rocky coastslines?

[Caroline91]

@NathanDavis Sorry, that was supposed to be in reply to Dongie's weather comment... Whoops!

[Caroline91]

@NathanDavis And that's for Michigan, where I am now. I miss my ocean!

[NathanDavis]

@Caroline91 yeah, ideally... I am going closer to the big lakes, one day I will

[Caroline91]

@NathanDavis. Why?

[NathanDavis]

@Caroline91 because I've had enough of the year long heat at Texas... lol

[Dongie]

@Caroline91, we've reached 52⁰ for low last week.

[Caroline91]

@NathanDavis 🤠

[NathanDavis]

@Caroline91 a hat would melt and fuse onto to the top of my head

[Charliefretz329]

It’s their coping mechanism. Probably not the best response in all situations
