Why shouldn't I use passive voice? I like the way it sounds and I especially enjoy it when using it with passive or mixed up characters, I think it adds to the mood

Synthetic or analytic?

It's usually more wordy and lacks the force of active voice.

What if my point is that my character lacks force and doesn't know what the fuck he's doing? What if the point is that none of the characters know what the fuck they're doing?

There are many other ways to do that less awkwardly. If you're using the passive voice for nearly every sentence, people will get tired of it.
The passive voice is fine when used well.
For whatever reason I have difficulties determining what a sentence's object(s) and subject are, so I have a hard time caring.
This makes learning German very painful, though.
The sentence I begun this post with doesn't have an object, yes?

Linking verbs like to be don't take objects.

I really don't understand why I've lived to be nearly 30 and am still terrible at this.
