Hollow Passive-Aggressive

A special breed of passive-aggressive behavior that feels nice on the surface but is completely fake, emotionally empty, and served with a side of sarcasm. It’s the art of acting supportive, polite, or complimentary — but you know deep down they don’t mean a single word of it.

Think: Smiling shade. Pretty words, petty intentions. The emotional equivalent of a cardboard hug.

Examples:
“Oh wow, you wore that? So brave of you.”

“Thank you for your opinion. It's definitely... something.”

Of course I’ll help. I love picking up other people’s slack!”
