I find "passive aggressives" very unnerving ... you know the types. "Oh, I am such a victim, won't you help me?"

Generally I like to help the underdog, so I get roped in by these sad-eyed manipulators too often

A pet hate is mob-mentality being a self-sufficient sort myself, and preferring to stretch new frontiers alone. Hence the safety-net of the Scientific community.

Have stood up against many bullies, in the past and had to learn to think quickly

Always learning .....

Who are these Passive agrressives ?

[purdey]

There are many people out there Phoenix who have been victims of bullying. I believe and I think figures show the "Bullied" genrally keep quiet, they tend to hide themselves away, not admitting they are been bullied.

Purdey I am not referring to genuine victims, I have often used my verbal skills in younger days gone by to fight their corners.

It's just through past naivety, and naturally maternal instincts, I have been hijacked by passive aggressives. I tend to identify them more readily now, and they get short thrift. But they are good at clinging on for fights

I'm small and was picked on many times, unsuccessfully I learnt to think on the spot and got interested in behaviour and body language as tools to use in survival skills. I was an avid reader of D. Morris, Konrad Lorenz etc from very young.

We are just "clever" animals after all .....

When I was young. ( Not that long ago) we adopted a name and shame approach, we were encouraged to " split" on bullies, and after due investigation the names of those bullies were read out in assembly.

I too Oracle, have done my bit to support those I felt were being attacked, so perhaps we may have something in common after all.

There are certain types of people that find comfort in crowds .. not me!

I used to be a bit maverick and often drew unwanted attention. But when mob-rule surfaces, my ethologist's interests lead me to observe, curiously, occasionally intervening to help the underdog ... But correctly identifying the underdog is the challenge.

[Cheshire Cat]

Who are these passive agressive people ? I too prefer to stay away from crowds, Being independant, always have been and always will be. But don't you find that , this is the way a bully operates, to single out, turn thier playmates against that person, as I have said before, bullies hunt in packs being cowardly when on thier own.

Passive aggressives tend to try and find common ground with someone to gain support ....

[Cheshire Cat]

I can think of a few like that, I can also think of a few who have double standards, ( Hypocrites)
