Ok, this is among the more important things, above my try-hard philosophy. If you've yet to encounter this consider thy self blessed.
Will start with Wikipedia:
Passive-aggressive behavior is characterized by a pattern of passive hostility and an avoidance of direct communication. Inaction where some action is socially customary is a typical passive-aggressive strategy (showing up late for functions, staying silent when a response is expected). Such behavior is sometimes protested by associates, evoking exasperation or confusion. People who are recipients of passive-aggressive behavior may experience anxiety due to the discordance between what they perceive and what the perpetrator is saying.
Urban Dictionary:
Some of the most obnoxious and arrogant people in the world. An antisocial personality trait that narcissistic but jealous & insecure people use to gain advantage, because they cannot reveal their true personality. They are usually seen as nice people but are very evil and manipulative underneath their mask.
The ultimate goal of a passive-aggressive person is to try and build a reputation of nobility around people, while surrounding themselves with these same people who they eventually manipulate and control into doing things for them. see: sycophants, toady. The people they control unknowingly become their robots (tools of manipulation) without their consent or own realization. Passive-Aggressive people are very reliant on popularity and people; so that you are not subjected to attack them or destroy their ego.
Their lives are often very superfluous, parasitic & self-indulgent. They prize institutions in society that promote equal opportunities; while taking no risks. They can even be so clever as to hijack the whole entire institution completely; without other people even noticing. They see the world and people as a chessboard/strategy game. They often know how to stir up events and manipulate situations while remaining completely invisible and sitting pretty. See: shit stirrer
Passive-Aggressors are basically very extroverted but clever psychopaths. They tend to thrive on potential cut-throat scenarios and are (most definitely) ruthless opportunists.
A passive-aggressive person usually tries to play on a persons' insecurities and bring out their weak points in order to get a rise out of their victim. They usually try to appear nice around people while doing this; even the victim, so everybody else is blinded to it, but you. They will often even try to manipulate and make their friends fight each other out of jealousy, to test their own ability and control over them and the group. While maintaining an outward appearance/reputation of innocence.
The key to dealing with a passive-aggressive person, is to never tell them your personal info; and always ignore or never respond to them. Or pretend to be nice. (never provoke an argument to a passive-aggressor; this is exactly what they want; in order to make you look bad) Passive-aggressive people are very dangerous. They are people that seek power, popularity and often play a divide & conquer game; giving other people around you false gifts (so those people will like the passive-aggressive person more than you) while simultaneously trying to patronize you or make you look bad. This is a tactic they use so that they can win popularity from people; while passively belittling you and making it seem that you have no credibility or reputation to attack them back; so no one will believe you when you counterattack out of self-defense. They are skilled at hijacking friends to turn the world against you.
Merriam Webster: :
being, marked by, or displaying behavior characterized by the expression of negative feelings, resentment, and aggression in an unassertive passive way (as through procrastination and stubbornness)
Been hearing this term long enough to finally look it up. Bumped into this wall a billion times. Technically surrounded by these people, it is the composition of my entire family and so called friends etc, they are everywhere where I live. I think the best passive-aggressive is total silence.
