Passive-Aggressive
Some of the most obnoxious and arrogant [people] in the world. An antisocial personality trait that narcissistic but jealous & insecure [people] use to gain advantage, because they cannot reveal their true personality. They are usually seen as nice [people] but are very evil and manipulative underneath their mask.
The ultimate goal of a passive-aggressive person is to try and build a reputation of nobility around [people], while surrounding themselves with these same [people] who they eventually manipulate and control into doing things for them. see: sycophants, toady. The [people] they control unknowingly become their robots (tools of manipulation) without their consent or own realization. Passive-Aggressive [people] are very reliant on popularity and [people]; so that you are not subjected to attack them or destroy their ego.
Their lives are often very superfluous, parasitic & self-indulgent. They prize institutions in [society] that promote equal opportunities; while taking no risks. They can even be so clever as to hijack the whole entire institution completely; without other people even noticing. They see the world and people as a chessboard/strategy game. They often know how to stir up events and manipulate situations while remaining completely invisible and sitting pretty. See: shit stirrer
Passive-Aggressors are basically very extroverted but clever psychopaths. They tend to thrive on potential cut-throat scenarios and are (most definitely) ruthless opportunists.
A passive-aggressive person usually tries to play on a persons' insecurities and bring out their weak points in order to get a rise out of their victim. They usually try to appear nice around [people] while doing this; even the victim, so everybody else is blinded to it, but you. They will often even try to manipulate and make their friends fight each other out of jealousy, to [test] their own ability and control over them and the group. While maintaining an outward appearance/reputation of innocence.
The key to dealing with a passive-aggressive person, is to never tell them your personal info; and always ignore or never respond to them. Or pretend to be nice. (never provoke an argument to a passive-aggressor; this is exactly what they want; in order to make you look bad) Passive-aggressive [people] are very dangerous. They are [people] that seek power, popularity and often play a divide & conquer game; giving other [people] around you false gifts (so those [people] will like the passive-aggressive person more than you) while simultaneously trying to patronize you or make you look bad. This is a tactic they use so that they can win popularity from [people]; while passively belittling you and making it seem that you have no credibility or reputation to attack them back; so no [one] will believe you when you counterattack out of self-defense. They are skilled at hijacking friends to turn the [world] against you.
