    On a tangent but passive aggressive shit confuses the hell out of me. Just COMMUNICATE. My general rule is that if I even suspect someone’s being passive aggressive I’ll just go with what ever they say to do/not do.

    If that pisses them off more, tough shit, they should have just communicated. I’m not gonna risk getting picked up and placed in more shit on the off chance they actually were expecting me to do/not do something.

      I have been overly cautious for about the past 2-3 years with passive aggression. But something in my mind switched in the past 2 weeks, and now I’m on a self-affirming growth spurt. I plan on following your style of dealing with potential passive aggression. And, if they then get upset, snarky, or insulting that I misunderstood their passive-aggressive comment, they’re getting put on a longer spoon or removed from my life entirely. I’m setting healthy boundaries all over the place, and they are being enforced.
