» 025; they wait for a negative reaction
I've always had a problem with people and their passive aggressiveness. I fail to understand why they would have to resort to such a method just to provoke some kind of reaction from the other party. Maybe they want anger, maybe they want guilt, maybe they want pity. Regardless of the outcome, I've always felt that it's such an unnecessary thing to do. If you have a problem with them, why not just tell them? They may not appreciate the gesture immediately, but in due time they will. It's so much better than going behind their back and spreading gossip, in the guise of being vague.
This passive aggressive behavior is something that I've been seeing a lot more of lately, and it's never a pretty sight to watch unfold. It feels awful to be on the receiving end and I'm not just saying that. I've been on the receiving end countless times from various people and I constantly wish they would say it to my face instead posting it on some social media website that's open to the public. If it's something between the person and I, it would be nice to at least be respected by keeping the matter between us.
I always try to be an open book to people and I just wish that I was offered the same courtesy, especially from a friend.
I don't know if that's just me being blindly idealistic but I just imagine the world would be a lot less confusing if we stopped hiding behind lies and facades. No matter how protected you may think you are with that wall up, it'll only backfire in the long run.
