Passive Aggressive Vs Aggressive

this has been rumbling in my head with trait it stronger .
or do you consider a mixture of both necessary.


The passive aggressive person is just as controlling as an aggressive person, but asserts the power in a very different way.


Is it best to observe and soak in a situation let it bubble then react later or in a non-confrontational manner. giving someone enough rope to hang themselves with it.


This can be in work,friendship,relationships or even in payback : views in all settings would be nice



or just being the opposite and cut it from the start.


State your sign and other views on this

Eh. Everybody qualifies, IMO.

Altho I do consider passive-aggressive people as loud, obnoxious and baiting. Usually the attack will be intended for one person but the passive-aggressive will disguise it as a general blanket complaint involving a large group.

We have one at work who will loudly exclaim "SomeBODY forgot to put a new roll of toilet paper on the holder!" Oh, and sticky notes stuck everywhere complaining about something.

I just laugh.

i think its best choosing your battle wisely

and when you calling someone out be tactful full about it dont be all loud you turn around looking like a fool

and dont brood about everything and turn into a doormat

I'm guilty of purposefully performing badly and forgetting about things. I'm also a pessimistic. One of the phrases i love the most is "i told you so". I say it with a big, sadistic grin on my face whenever i have the chance 🙂

I can also display aggressiveness in the form of authoritative behavior. Also i'm not afraid of throwing punches whenever i feel insulted by someone. Sometimes anger gets the better of me and i can get pretty ruthless, though.

im a cap and though it says we are a passive sign i dunno

i prefer if i do something to offend you or something bugs you say it to me im not physic i may pick up on stuff but not everything say it to me dont attack or scream at me. or i prolli get surprise and shut up or give you a look like check yourself.

holding things in against me and throwing at me later only annoys me as i prolli forget and have to go in my brain box to the time and location. i hate things from the past being thrown in my face worst if it was talked about prior.

something i prefer not cussing about like i would brush it off that may seem passive but my brain just haven't process what was said well and i give the benefit of the doubt that it wasnt meant in the way it was said.

but after a long process of actions and everything yea i may get upset at the new information from an objective view i may or may not bring it up back unless the situation is repeated.

i dont like arguing because i think nothing it resolve just people screaming at you.but back me up too much and get in my face i get aggressive.

Mostly passive aggressive. When I do flip, it's biblical though.

I like everything out in the open, so if I have personal problem with someone I will let them know, but I'm not going to keep repeating myself. If it continues to happen and I can't remove myself from the situation, fix the problem myself or find a compromise, then those people are pissing me off at their own risk. They either get the point or go away.

To be honest, I hate it when people, deny their intentions when their engaging in passive aggressive manipulative behavior. Deception isn't any better then a lie. "So your telling me the sky is not blue? hmmmm... let me think about that... mmmm No, go fuck yourself"

I don't want there to be any confusion when I'm coming off rude and ignorant. I don't understand how people expect to solve anything by tip toeing around their problems. And if I knew someone put those signs up for that reason, I'd just might hide ever roll of toilet paper till they got mad enough to say how they felt.

That's Fred, he's an elephant, and he doesn't want to be here. So everybody look at Fred so he can leave. And if you don't think you can get over it, please follow Fred.

i feel the same way. just be direct about everything-no insidious mind games. those are for cowards who are afraid to bring their aggression out in the open.

i find mind games annoying it people are just straight forward and honest with each other alot of drama will be avoid you just have to respect each others opinion and honesty and if u like it well cut them of. you born alone you die alone

people make things more complicated than they need to be.


im guilty of the passive thing but thats when im tired of going over the same thing repeatedly next move imma snap or just bounce

I personally think passive-aggressive behavior is worse and annoying.

I'd rather deal with aggressive people. If we have to be in the same space, and something about me bothers you, then I like folks that are upfront. You don't even have to tell me with words, but even with actions, I'll respect the coldness cause it allows me to be more in my space, and know what it is. I don't like the energy put into having to wonder about flip/flop behavior, and if I feel I'm made to put too much energy into it then that's when I tend to cut the person off. Unfortunately, I'll get called evil, mean, and every other word for it, but I really hate to going there.

I distance myself from the personalities that I don't care for. I'll never tell someone I don't like them, because it's never true. In the past I've found myself being followed by these people and mildly attacked for being distant, so there never seems to be a right way to do things. I guess I could tell them that I don't care for their personality/behavior, but if this is a passive-aggressive person then really, what is the point? They'll just come up with extremely creative ways to attack you.
