This is part three of my four-part series on killing passive aggression. Today I’m talking about three specific tactics: withholding enthusiasm, praising someone’s competition, and pouting or sulking. These are sneaky ways people avoid saying what’s really on their mind. Women often use these methods naturally, but when men start doing them, it’s a bigger problem—because as a man, you should be direct and speak up instead of waiting to be prompted. The best way to deal with this behavior? Call it out straight up.

Show Notes: 

[00:32]#7 Withholding of enthusiasm.
