With respect; a lot of us out here know and used many of those the same way; we’re silently aware of the intent. I used to be that way. Over time feeling the need to fake it fell away; now I just mock everyone through muted indifference and a shrug, “good job at being a member of social life like everyone else” kind of energy.

Emotional archetypes are limited. You have borrowed others ideas because that’s how it works; you memorized such emotional states from others. Awareness of such emotional state is not yours alone.

See. That’s how you put someone down. Directly. Not through passive aggressive southerner classics. You’re far too obvious to those who have diverse real world experience and just come off as a cliche. But we silently eye roll rather than validate such antics through feedback, good or bad.

I read this comment with a Werner Herzog accent. I hope that's ok with you.
The best response to passive aggressive attacks is their own echo.

I try to be like "ok, let's get back to the topic"

bless your heart.
