>>9166268Technically they aren't the only two responses. There's a third. Which is become the aggressor.
There are three options when one is the "victim" (for lack of a better term) to someone else's passive aggression.
>Be passive aggressive in returnRequires acknowledgement of their passive aggression. Matches their emotion, they gain control of the situation/
>AggressionSame as passive aggressive, except more explosive. Likely to end in a fist fight. You become the bad guy. They still have control
>IgnoranceSafest bet, you ignore their emotional plea. You don't seed control to them. You don't acknowledge their manipulative emotional game. UNTIL they become aggressive, then they are now the bad guy and they have seeded control to you.
>>9166276That's what I'm thinking is the best course of action. Just hope it doesn't devolve into violence before all the cards are in play.
You know what I mean?
It's not good to spill the blood of those around you.
