Passive Aggressive
Posted by Amanda on March 13th, 2008 . Filed under: Personal .I know that most people hate passive aggressive people. Well boo frikkin’ hoo. I happen to be the queen of passive aggression. I’m that girl who, when interrupted one too many times, will refuse to speak another word to you rather than explaining to you why I’m upset. But why should I have to explain when you just acknowledged your interruption by asking me to continue?
Yeah. I’m that girl.
Got a problem with it?

Yeah!
I’m still better at peeing standing up!
But yeah, some of us are chronic interrupters because we have a hard time keeping thoughts in our brain for later use, even if ‘later’ is just 2 minutes away. The thoughts disappear (its very annoying). After decades of getting the thought out before it dissolves we become interrupters and barely know we are doing it. And by ‘we’, i mean me.
My sister informed me a couple of years ago about how annoying it is (her words were more harsh than that).
But if she just turned around and walked away, without explaining how would I know what was wrong or what was bothering her? how do people know why you are angry so that they can be mroe considerate in the future?
Your walking away after an interruption could be easily misinterpreted as you being offended by what I said, rather than when I said it.
information is always better than no information.
Why wouldn’t the person who did this to you, go and tell other people, “You know, I was telling amanda that we needed to get our MRS forms out today and she got all offended and walked away! What a bitch!”
Now you have to go around and tell people that it was the constant interruptions and not the forms that was the problem.
Yeah passive aggressiveness is annoying for other people, but as I see it, its worse for you. Let me ask you another question… Does it work? Is that tactic of interpersonal relationships working for you, does it help you succeed and increase your happiness? If not, why do you do it? If so, then I guess, while annoying for those around you, it isnt a world changing characteristic, so if your fine with it, then be fine with it.
