The Kardashians have returned with their reality show and already, the drama is drama-ing.

But no moment so far this season has angered the internet more than Kourtney Kardashian's passive-aggressive commentary about her sisters' choices.

Kourtney has been trending across social media platforms, and sadly, not for the right reasons. Viewers have been calling her out for being a "pick me" (a term used to describe a term used to describe someone who seeks attention and approval, usually from men, by putting down other women or claiming to be different), claiming that Kourtney is essentially criticising her sisters because of her own insecurities. 

It's all very messy, so let's break it all down.

In one scene this season, Kourtney attended lunch with her sisters and made a few comments that drove the internet — and her sisters — absolutely insane.

The moment that had everyone talking? Kourtney's unprompted fashion manifesto, delivered right in front of Kim and Khloé who are, well… very dressed up.

"I had a very important discovery about myself and I decided I'm not into ever wearing a real outfit ever again," Kourtney announced to Khloé, as her sisters sat there in full glam.

"I don't really want to be in a corset with my boobs popping out. Have fun and not be in six-inch heels. Just a personal choice, we're entitled," she added in a confessional.

The passive-aggressive energy was palpable. 

"She doesn't want to be judged but all she does is judge other people," Khloé said. 

She went on to make the point that if Kourtney didn't like what they were wearing, she could have just quietly come in and lived her life without the commentary. You know, like a normal person would.

But wait, there's more.

In another scene, Kourtney rang Khloé to share some unsolicited parenting wisdom, telling her it's bad to have TVs in her kids' bedrooms and that studies have shown that they should limit technology use an hour before bed. 

"What if everything's going smooth?" Khloé asked when it comes to her routine with her children. 

"Just you wait. Just you wait 'til they get older," Kourtney said. 

Look, Kourtney might not be wrong about the TV thing — but it's the unsolicited, holier-than-thou delivery that's clearly grinding her family's gears.

"What bothers me the most is that Kourtney is the first one that says she doesn't like how judgey people are, but she's the first one to be so passive-aggressive with everyone else, at least with me," Khloé explained. 

The pattern is clear: Kourtney seems to enjoy making her lifestyle changes everyone else's problem, and I hate to side with the internet, but it's giving major "I'm not like other girls" energy.

In my opinion, there's a massive and very clear reason why everyone seems to be resonating with these moments on the show. And it's because — let's be honest — we've all met a 'Kourtney' in this context. And she gets on our nerves every single time.

The passive-aggressive comments, the subtle shaming of other people for making different life choices, the superiority complex disguised as authenticity. We've all been there.

It's the friend who makes pointed comments about your outfit choices, the colleague who gives random unsolicited advice, or the family member who positions themselves as more enlightened than you about everything. 

I, too, have experienced this many times and can name several men and women in my life who tend to do this. I don't necessarily think it comes from a bad place, but it can be extremely frustrating. 

One of my relatives — who shall remain nameless — has mastered the art of the backhanded compliment disguised as personal preference. You know the type: "Oh, I could never wear that much makeup, but you do you!" or "I'd literally rather die than put that stuff in my body, but that's just me!" 

The thing is, we've all met someone like this — the person who can't just make different choices without announcing them to the world.

"That could never be me." 

Well, great news — it's not you, and it doesn't have to be. The people in your life aren't asking you to squeeze into a corset or put TVs in your kids' rooms. They're just living their lives, making their own choices, and frankly, they'd probably appreciate it if you could do the same without the running commentary. 

Sometimes the most revolutionary thing we can do is just... mind our own business.
