peesiver

Peesiver is a term that has emerged in online communities, particularly on social media platforms, to describe a specific type of online behavior. It refers to the act of repeatedly sending private messages, often unsolicited, to someone with the intention of eliciting a response or acknowledgment, even when that person has shown no interest or has indicated they are not interested. This can manifest in various forms, including persistent DMs, comments on posts that are ignored, or attempts to engage in conversation despite a lack of reciprocation.

The term "peesiver" is a portmanteau, blending the words "persistent" and "passive-aggressive." While the persistence is evident in the repeated attempts to communicate, the "passive-aggressive" aspect can sometimes be inferred from the underlying frustration or sense of entitlement that may drive such behavior. The recipient of peesiving often experiences discomfort, annoyance, or even distress due to the unwanted and unrelenting attention. Online communities have adopted this term to collectively identify and discuss this type of unwanted online interaction, often highlighting the importance of respecting boundaries and digital consent.
