This kind of passivity makes me lose it.
Frente a esa pasividad, yo pierdo los estribos....
If you RETRANSLATE into Spanish, and don't use FRENTE A, you have to use: HACER.....Esa pasividad ME HACE perder los estribos.
CONTEXT IS EVERTHNING...SOMETIMES THERE IS NO NEED TO USE A SPECIFIC WORD..
If you look at how I finished your sentence...just an example..you will see that my translation doesn't even translate the word..SO, all I can say is: It depends on the context...

Of course, many of the previous answers also have their context....
