Feb 3 2013: To the date it is almost 3 years ago, that FB almost literally "saved my life" on this matter!
A friend used the (to me unknown term) passive-aggressive in one of his posts - and revealed to me an outer galaxy of personalities I was dealing with all my life ---- and was stuck in a really unhealthy relationship at that time...wondering what was going on and what role I played in the "drama".
To me after back then 3 days of intense research it boiled down to these insights:
1) do not involve the "suspect" into your thoughts. U did not break it - u don't have to fix it!
2) inhale before you react - stay level-headed ALL the time - do not use humour or sarcasm
3) be ready to see drastic change of behaviour immediately - the ugly truth might just unfold within hours
4) check yourself - what is your "part of the game"!
Here are the links that helped me most understand what is going on and the manual with all your FAQs!
These insights deeply changed my life - I realized I was completely blind and helpless and the perfect match for this kind of personalities....(now it looks all that easy! :))
