Wrong. You need to engage in passive aggressive war and call them out in every indirect way possible, addressing one fault at a time until they see the light and the error of their ways.

You will be the one for whom many wrongs will make the rightest right.

passive aggressive = someone wants to be aggressive but the consequences for doing so would be too unbearable(awkwardness/dealing with anger/possible injury in fight)
just be aggressive with someone who's passive aggressive and take the first shot(either verbal or physical). they are cowards, they will not be able to cope with it.
if you're the one being passive aggressive you need to stop being a coward and either be aggressive or be completely passive and accept that you're in a situation that is not ideal - think of ways to avoid that situation in the future

Confront it. Passive-aggressive people are cowards who'll prefer to run than defending their stances or views.

And if you're doing it yourself, train to speak your mind bit by bit. Consider that others' are not giving a fuck about you as much as you want to think, they care more about what inside their head more, so if you want to speak anything, speak it clearly.

In yourself or stopping someone else?


I recently went to some seminar for work about dealing with difficult people. It went over how to deal with passive aggression in others.

Basically: You recognize you can't change them, but don't allow yourself to be victimized either.

I'm assuming by passive aggression, you are referring to someone who uses sarcasm, covert insults and attacks, mutters insults, and mostly uses their attitude/tone to express anger. This is versus someone who just blows up and is directly aggressive.

Basically, if someone is passive aggressive, sarcastic, or covert. You call it out. Not aggressively. Maybe just an innocent, "What did you mean by that?" can lead to a better conversation in which you can assert yourself and call out their behavior. Basically you need to be open, clear, and if they have a problem with something you do, tell them you're open to compromising a solution. Their reaction to this may make them even angrier, in which situation you just remain the calm, level headed, open person in the situation.

Never match the passive aggression. Or any aggression with aggression. Just allows the person to "win"
