I agree with accepting people as they are, it’s their journey, however…this doesn’t mean I want to deal with duplicity. I am an assertive, open type and cannot tolerate mind games.
I am being given the PA infamous ’ silent treatment’ right now after confronting a ‘friend’ on her manipulative behavior. I was hoping she would take simple responsibility for her inconsiderate actions, but, nope.
I refuse to reward mind games, I simply exit.
My rule these days is that I speak up once, and only once and then I just observe.
Can this person SHOW me they are willing to be held accountable for their behavior or am I witnessing the usual litany of excuses, denial and feigned innocence?
My ex husband was highly PA and it was a horrible communication match, with me being the pro-active, take the bull by the horns and lets resolve the issues NOW, vs. the head in the sand stratagy. Gah!
I just came into full awareness of this persons PA tendancies recently and was rather suprised to connect the dots becuase her manipulative behaviors are different from my ex’s, but, oh man…..it’s all there! lol
Maddening style of non-communication.
Honestly, if ever I was to commit murder it would be a passive aggressive that pushed me over the edge. haha
