Episode 10: The Passive Aggression

Listen Later

Mary and Karen have a conversation about passive aggressive behavior inspired by the article in Inc. Magazine by Justin Bariso entitled, "Emotionally Intelligent People Use a Brilliant 6-Word Phrase to Stop Passive-Aggressive Behavior and Strengthen Their Relationships."

Here are the takeaways:

  1. The thing that annoys you about someone else is often something that’s inside of you. The other person is a mirror to yourself.
  2. Holding a grudge hurts us, not the other person.
  3. Try to become aware of what your habits are so you can communicate clearly to others.
  4. If someone is being passive aggressive toward you, be kind, yet firm and ask them to be direct.
  5. Attack the problem, not the person.
