Ah, sorted everything out and tried to put it into a short sentence by searching my inner memory boxes:

"Get a life"-translation =>

[color:"yellow"]Be as I want you to be, be not yourself
Fill my needs not yours[/color]

[color:"orange"] Edit: Am I on the right track? [/color]
These are sentences used in psychology, showing a generalised view of how people deal with each other when they are not clear to oneself/others about needs, wishes and appellations. Yes, BeeGee, I think it's passive aggressive - Rince, it's "normative" (yeah, a typical killer word) - even if meant in concern. And the "power, infliction" of this sentence lies indeed more in the nonverbal sector than in the sentence itself.

I just need one tiny puzzle piece => where does this sentence come from? Is it an everyday term in English/American language and was mainly adapted for the internet world or was it "created" specially for this world?

Again, thanks to all - and keep on rolling in with your views <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
