I was wondering if you can be passive aggressive but friendly? you are nice and you are full of spirit type of thing but when something bad happens to you, you get your revenge? it kind of contradicts itself? does this make sense?

Have you ever seen anyone that was overly friendly, and you knew that someone was going to get a rude awakening. Ever ticked off your significant other, they acted like everything is forgiven, and the next day, your eggs and toast are burnt. Ever told someone that you would be glad to do something for them, even if you really didn't want to, so when you did it you did the worst job ever even though you knew that you could do a good job? That is the whole thing with passive agressive. Passive being friendly and accomidating, aggressive being the revenge for feeling forced to do what you really didn't want to do.

Of course you can be both. If you can be charming and evil, then you can be passive aggressive and friendly. Just look at Ted Bundy and how absolutely charming he was said to be. But, then after he lured those women into his web, he killed them. And about the contradiction thing.....LIFE IS A CONTRADICTION.
