The art of being disagreeable

[LuvOrlando]

What is this particular trait?

Just can't figure out why a person would be bothered to disagree if it has no impact on them?

I care a smidge for a thing but I'm always about an inch away from full blown apathy, well maybe a hint of curiosity lingers a bit every now and again like now.

The whole behavior is so unknowable. If you know people like this or have some useful insight I'd be delighted because I just flat out don't get it and usually find myself observing without understanding. To me it is like watching a bird intently build a nest in a certain way, picking up one twig and rejecting another, knowing there is a reason but recognizing I'll never get it.

It's been my experience that some people will couch a situation/instance/particular occurrence or experience in such a way as to seemingly want to help out/seek interested and/or a favorable response & possibly illicit a teeny bit of sympathy. When that doesn't happen and other folks actually simply articulate their honest thoughts or responses on the situation - well, it's not well received by the person originally starting the conversation.
Kinda passive aggressive the whole "I have this little point of view and I want you all to know about it, you can comment if you agree but don't bother responding to the conversation I initiated if you don't because even if I said it's not a big deal it's really a big deal to me but no one else."

Interesting, thanks

I don't think disagreeable people are honest though, seems they just like to, well, disagree. What you say would make sense if the person was MOSTLY agreeable and had a different every now and again but when it is all that happens ya gotta sort of just wonder, or not I guess.

Ehhh, I lost the taste for it

I don't know... sometimes when I'm bored I'll disagree just to entertain myself.

Really, it makes me feel like I'm back in school and people are holding up their hands in front of their mouths while they talk about somebody behind their back. (It's a joke people, don't get upset)

I'd give you a mercy PM but then everyone would find out and I wouldn't be popular any more.

Many difficult and unreasonable people are narcissists. There's no hope for them usually...
