Lesson Overview

18.37 – Dealing With Passive-Aggressive Behavior: Passive-aggression confuses because it hides negativity behind politeness—sarcastic compliments, silent treatment, or subtle exclusion. Recognize that this behavior usually reflects someone’s discomfort, not your inadequacy. Stay centered by addressing patterns directly but calmly. Ask clarifying questions instead of matching sarcasm. When you refuse to play emotional chess, you remove the power of manipulation. Set boundaries through consistency, not retaliation. Healthy relationships rely on clarity, and honest conversation is the antidote to hidden hostility. Surround yourself with people who prefer openness over games. Peace thrives where communication replaces guessing.
