Has anyone else been called passive aggressive by a toxic person when you have really just been silenced by their incapability to hear the word “no”?

[NatashaSGill]

I went from shock that a grown man would respond like a child, to disappointment and exhaustion. After I passed the disgusted phase I became indifferent. Every interaction followed the same script and I accepted there would never be any progress. That's when I left.

[lizzettorres]

Passive aggressive people, narcissists or not, are the most aggravating, sneaky people

[bdegrand]

After 29 years of marriage to a husband who was a poster child for this negative narcissism -- to the point that my life energy had burned down to a tiny ember -- one day when he was fuming about telling somebody ELSE off, I had a very calm thought, "I don't want to be around you anymore." That was the beginning of liberation and healing for me after many L-O-N-G terrible years...

[mariemallard]

It’s exhausting trying to get them in a good mood so they don’t ruin everyone’s day. Not just yours. You find yourself constantly catering. Prepare to be punished if they don’t get their way.

[VT-dijx]

YES! YES! I always told him he was acting like a rebellious teenager. "I want to do what I want, when I want, with who I want, and I don't want to have to explain it to anyone."

[lorettatawney]

It’s a friggin nightmare and extremely depressing living with a Narc and passive agresssive behavior

[LyndieLouWho]

It's been my experience that the narcissist's passive-aggressiveness always amps up during the holidays and other special occasions.
It's like they love to watch you go from a celebratory high to feeling confused, depressed and devastated by covertly ruining the day for their targets. They take great joy in watching the joy drain from your face.

[gailmurphy]

This is the perfect description of my boy-man narc, after 7 years of marriage. Im now no-contact and filed for divorce! Hallelujah!!!

[terransage]

“45 year old boy-man” gave me a laugh this morning, despite the unpleasantness of the subject

[truecrimes]

Narcissists never reach their goals without lying, cheating, stealing and gaining off the misery of others; so for those of us who brood over narcissists unearned success, that's just a logical response. Narcissist are always successful in living off the misery of others and they always want people to celebrate their ill-gotten or unearned success and call you a narc for not kissing their ass.

[betsbullins]

You nailed it again Dr. Ramani!
This is my covert Narcissist husband of 40 years...and yes I'm at the disgusting phase. Passed exhaustion years ago. Financially, I have to stay.
It is beyond a nightmare.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom!

Plenty of passive aggressive people are also narcissistic. Passive aggressive people have a lot of entitlement about how other people are supposed to behave and they try to bring them in line with more subtle type psycho-manipulation.

[siobhanshipe]

This channel has opened my eyes tremendously, as well as aided in my healing. I was stuck in a situation, where I didn't know what the hell was going was awful and depleting. I became a shell of myself. I was using terms describing my situation like "jekyll and hyde"...not knowing what narcissist abuse really was...specifically covert. It was super confusing and a total mind f***. THANK YOU for providing this content/education. I watch every. single. day.

Researching Passive/Aggressive personalities is how I stumbled upon the concept of Narcissism in 2015. I’d lived with problematic personalities in my midst my entire life, but I never knew what to call them or how to describe/define them, nor did I really understand that it was them and not me. Once I did, however, the floodgates of awareness opened.

[eloeden]

i realized every little project or engagement my narcissistic parents had a part in would be sabotaged one way or another. Basically they’ll do and say the most vile and insidious things and then pretend to be the victim. Almost anything would go wrong or be ruined by their suppressed rage and self hatred at one point or another, it’s very tiring to be around passive aggressive people.

[khaledaparveenrupa]

Passive aggressive type was my greatest challenge. They initially presented as a victim which was deceiving. I felt so irritated by their entitle victimhood .

[lizcolton]

My ex was so passive aggressive it made me feel unbalanced and hysterical, then I could be accused of being overly sensitive and highly strung! He used to get his own back if I asked for help in many ways but one that comes to mind is when our son was little and in day nursery as we were both working, I discovered he was getting home a couple of hours earlier than me but not doing anything to help i.e. I was shopping, cleaning and cooking in addition to working and taking our son to nursery and collecting him too. I asked my ex to collect our son from nursery if he came home early, so, from time to time he did but he wouldn’t text me to say he had so I would go to nursery only to discover that our son had been collected! Infuriating or what, he made me crazy! The best thing I have ever done for my sanity was divorce him!

[JJ-mhxd]

I was in a relationship for 13 years and I couldn't even ask him to shut the door because of wasps coming in.
Mine would literally mimic me if I said stop he would say stop too!!
I was floored by your videos. It was as you knew Exactly what I lived like.

[mrscrofford]

People who play devils advocate all the time I stay far far away from. They are highly negative and exhausting. THE DEVIL DOEST NEED ADVOCATES!!!!
