What is wrong with someone who always ?

Question

tries to wind others up and cause arguements and get a reaction dont you think they are strange, why do they do this like a really interfering person

Answer 1

In one case I thought a person was very angry, but figured he calculated it wasn't to his advantage to appear angry or perhaps socially unacceptable for him express anger. So he provoked his wife into anger at his target. I don't think she was fully aware how she was manipulated.

This same man enjoys debating at lunch with colleagues who differ in politics and is considered a fairly affable guy. But I don't think anyone feels they understand this "complicated" person: he wants it that way.

Many paths in life.

Answer 2

I am no expert but I have come across this several times in life.  It seems as if they have to create drama, it puts them in control.  Is this a person who is close to you? email me.

Answer 3

It's called Passive Agressive, and it's probably one of the more destructive emotional issues anyone can have.  It's not only destrucctive to the person themselves (because they generally can't keep friends or even family relationships together), but has devestating effects on those around them.  If this is you then I'd highly recommend seeking professional help, if not, recommend it to whoever is.

Answer 4

That is called a Maytag.  An agitator.

Answer 5

with children it can be normal, its a phase in their lifes which they sometimes carry into teenage. but it is pretty strange for an adult to be like that. if you know an adult who acts like that, they either have a very complicated character (in a bad way), are very immature or have serious psychological problems :)

Answer 6

There is a term for people like this....toxic personality.  They create chaos in others to distract them from dealing with the turmoil in thier own life.  At some point no one will want to be around them and when they are finally left alone, they will be forced to deal with their own issues.  You can sympathize, but do it from a distance - Sadly, these types prey on nice people who don't usually have the skills to cope with these personalities. Just walk away and let the professionals deal with them later in life.

Answer 7

I don't like to make small talk with people I am close with.  We talk about more personal/deeper things so we do argue and challenge eachother.  How do you really know someone if you can't disagree with them have heated fights and still love them the next day.  We fire each other up all the time.  It's just out of fun and the people I like to be around are not to sensitive to criticism and joking around.
