Ineffable Ontological Detanglement .: Introspective Assistance & Mental Analysis Manual
This is an annoying one. It rings passive aggressive, but, you're not trying to be passive aggressive. In developing the philosophy that telling you why I need something done would be seen as too forceful, you turn into a person who whimpers at it over and over and over and over and over and over and over expecting the other person to eventually understand they are to do this, but you're creating an inescapable irritating tension in both you and the other person. Eventually, after a few weeks of stewing in your darkness over this person not understanding the urgency you may well start trying to act passive aggressive. It's actually a lot more comfortable for both parties if you state "I need this because" initially so both parties can be on the same side of the awareness of the problem. Because isn't a bad word because is a perfectly okay word nobody's scared of that word.
