Passive Aggressive People on this Site

Recently, I've unfortunately encountered passive-aggressive people on this site. I won't mention their name, but their rudeness towards me seems unnecessary (especially when I’ve posted a discussion about an interesting topic then they randomly comment something rude).

When I call them out on their behaviour, they tend to claim that I've done something wrong or project their issues onto me. I've gone back and reread the entire thread to understand what I might have said or done, but I've found that I've actually done nothing at all; I've been completely irrational.

These individuals seem unable to self-reflect or consider any perspective other than their own. It feels as though they hold me accountable for what they say or done wrong.

It sounds like you’re dealing with some frustrating exchanges online, especially when you're just looking to have genuine discussions. The passive-aggressive behavior you're encountering—people deflecting responsibility or projecting their issues—seems to be all too common in digital spaces. Often, these dismissive responses are more a reflection of the other person’s insecurities or internal struggles than anything personal.

It might help to keep in mind that everyone’s bringing their own baggage, which sometimes spills out in ways that aren't very productive. As some of the comments have mentioned, it can be best to recognize these behaviors for what they are and not let them affect your enthusiasm for meaningful conversation. Using the mirror emoji "🪞" as a reply is a subtle way to hint at their projecting without getting tangled in the drama. Keep sharing the interesting stuff—there are definitely people out there who appreciate thoughtful, engaging conversations, even if a few passive-aggressive voices show up here and there!

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays Well, I stand corrected.

So umm, Dr. Heimlich Snookumsskizeldorfenski or whoever, was he also the professor who taught our member @ProphetOfFarblesnozz ?
@CestManan Yes, I remember something to that effect.

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays Yeah your right. Next time, I'll leave it and walk away. Thank you for sharing your outlook

It’s best to block them. I block anyone who’s toxic.
Might be better than aggressive aggressive

I don't know who they are or what the issues were, but there are always people like this online. Just move on and don't let it bother you is my advice. Some people are so closed minded you will never crack their nut.

@RSquared True
There is always someone watching you online, taking notes, getting ready to pounce like a cat to a Christmas tree.

Yeess. It's prevalent.

The ones who project are my non favorites.. Project their own behavior or nariccistic traits onto others.

Completely irrational, eh?
MaryDreamilton · 46-50, F
I've seen a few like that on here.
What I find more upsetting is the active aggressive people
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
I'm sure you've done nothing whatsoever to bring this upon you. It's all their fault.

(I'm kidding. People are tools sometimes.)
