Whoa. So I've been mistaking passive-aggressiveness for gaslighting and manipulation.

They can overlap. Especially number 9 and 10 on that list.

I guess lying overlaps too?
I'm really bad at picking out passive aggressiveness unless the person doing it has specifically called themselves passive aggressive and pointed out an example of how they've done it in the past.

Yes. I would say so, although, I would say lying isn't necessarily passive aggressive but that people are passive aggressive might have a tendency to lie more, same with manipulators/gaslighters. If it makes you feel better, generally, I'm sucky at picking it out too. I need to know people for a long time before I realize they are doing it lol.

The privilege of obliviousness.

DURP!

 

I know we can be more passive aggressive than this... take out your every day frustration on here! Let out some steam. Do it passive aggressively. It will feel good and satisfying!

P.S. I am taking a psychological approach to this thread now!
