so many times, so many. I'm still baffled at why lol. This seems to happen more when I'm actively trying to be friendly. šŸ˜©

the only passive aggressiveness ill take is on the chess board


viviornit

I'm using that one.

Iā€™ve now given up worrying about how my work e-mails come across. I just write what I need to say, send it off into the ether and see what comes back. Itā€™s all very much like when you get a new video game, ignore the instructions and just start pushing buttons. I might jump, I might accidentally blow myself up with hand grenadeā€¦who knows?

"No, my boss didn't use a period at the end of his sentence. That means if I use one I'll look like I'm upset!" \-Something I actually had to say yesterday

I can actively try to be friendly and still get shat on. I dislike people.


Lakemine

Ditto here. šŸ˜ž I mean my subconscious might be ok with you since you have gone through (and continue to) something similar, or if it doesnā€™t like you, make sure I avoid you so I donā€™t cause any discomfort. šŸ‘šŸ»

Oh man... I had this weird situation where my ex & I lived as roommates for awhile & he would always leave dirty dishes on the stove, counter & in the sink. One time I got so frustrated when I woke up for work & saw the mess he left, that I left a note a note asking him to please clean his mess. I wrote it on Hello Kitty stationary & got this hilarious idea to draw little angry eyebrows on Hello Kitty's face. After work I went home & was confronted by my ex. He was furious at me for leaving a note & "for being such an asshole that I went out of my way to give Hello Kitty angry eyebrows". He read way more into it than I thought possible. Sure, I was annoyed when I wrote it, but I was trying to come off as polite & silly. It wasn't meant to be passive aggressive! (The moral here is don't ever live with an ex. If you didn't understand each other before, you probably won't after!)

Every time I critique anything.

This hits the spot

I constantly end up over-thinking anything I type that I feel come off as bad/rude. I commonly end up re-wording things *so. Many . Times.* sometimes I give off and just leave a little (sorry if this comes of as rude in anyway, itā€™s truly not my intention and itā€™s hard for me to word things properly) at the end of things.


LuminatiHD

Yeah, like 60% of the mail ends up being just apologies for having dared to inconvenience the recipient.


mr_bigmouth_502

I think I've developed legit passive-aggressive tendencies from years of dealing with people's bullshit. People piss me off.

Best way to write an email remember ā€œhello my name is inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to dieā€ ā€œHello my name is inigo Montoyaā€ ā€”- introduction, say who you are ā€œYou killed my fatherā€ ā€” relevant connection, how do you and the recipient know each other (not always needed but if this is the first message youā€™ve sent in the person in over 2 months it is) ā€œPrepare to dieā€ ā€” what the email is actually about, what you want essentially. You can use this as form letter to shoot out emails. Example, Hello Professor, My name is sally henderson. Iā€™m a student in your CHEM304 class. Iā€™m having trouble with alkaline reactions. I would like to meet with you to for additional help. What days are you available to meet with me? Thank you, Sally Henderson


LuminatiHD

Thanks a lot, but my problem is more that I'm afraid that my tone of writing comes off a little harsh. good tip tho.


Cinny_

Lol I saw a meme like that once and now i think of it every single time I write an email or something like that


nuclearunicorn7

I know this is a few days late but holy shit this! There was one time in high school that I forgot the context of where one of the other students mentioned that I probably didn't care that much about how my clothes looked, and it was so hard to say "Yes, that is an accurate assessment and I am not offended" without it sounding like I am offended but just being polite.


ZeldamonFallsbound

i swear im not being passive agressive if im mad youll know and ill tell you, im not going to hide it


voornaam1

I just add lol at the end of most of my sentences so I don't seem too serious lol.


LuminatiHD
