I’ve struggled with being passive aggressive before. It was related to an uncomfortable living situation with a roommate, and no real answer being available to me besides to leave. I did not want to be read, and the aggression came out as begrudgingly, frustratingly cleaning up after him because I couldn’t stand a messy communal area, and he couldn’t be bothered to clean up the space (despite me asking him to do it and him spending literally 16 hours a day there). He saw me cleaning, noted the frustration, and called me passive aggressive over it. I just wanted to knuckle through it till I could afford to leave, and that makes me behave like a passive aggressive asshole. C’est la vie.
Passive agressiveness is terrible and I hate that you’re expected to read it. People should just be upfront about their feelings.
