I can tell when someone is trying to manipulate me with passive aggressiveness. The best way to counteract it, I've noticed, is to act like you don't see it at all.

Hey Jinn
Some of the main aspects of being passive aggressive are:
- Hiding your hostility by seeming to be nice to someone you dislike, and are unable to be honest with the person.
- Telling people what they want to hear, even if you don't believe in what you are saying.
- Hating something or someone but am afraid of letting you true feelings show.
- Being angry but afraid to show your anger, so then quietly take your revenge by doing the opposite.
What you described is also generally true of passive aggressive behaviour, but not always. There are a few flavours.
