How did you know it was passive aggressive behaviour? Have you evidence?
|
the evidence is that this poster is already a target of this womans bullying, so the poster is quite aware of the person she is acusing of being passive agressive the poster is recognising that when this woman uses the term
"favorite" person, this woman is not using the term "favorite person" for it's honest deffeniton, because her behavior at the work place is that of a bully,
The poster is feeling "attacked" because she clearly is!! , and the reason the poster says :
if she had come over and hit me I would have been fine???? I don't understand why I react so badly inside and Im not sure how to deal with it
She says this because the hit in the face is direct, it is upfront and clear language , something passive agressive behavor ( manipulation), is not so it makes it harder to deal with ...
defined: passive agressive
Definition:
avoiding direct confrontation: describes a personality type or way of behaving that seeks to manipulate others indirectly and resist their demands rather than confronting or opposing directly
Passive aggressive behavior is not clear language , when the bully said "my favorite person", she knew exactly what she was doing.. her meaning did not line up with the honesty of the phrase
