Not aligning with someone’s passive aggressive comments can still be challenging. It’s the “can’t quite put my finger on it, but something about your desire to specifically state how I am in the wrong without discussion of how you can help me” doesn’t feel right.

When you "own" someone else's negative behavior, it leaves you feeling as if you are the one that did something wrong. Although the "higher" road might seem altruistic, it can also be an invitation to silence yourself amidst dysfunction.

A passive-aggressive comment feels shaming, so much so that the behavior is rarely addressed. Often, the person on the receiving end of the comment feels indifferent about addressing the behavior directly for what it is, therefore, enabling the continuation of the behavior.

I was 22 years old, horseback riding in the wilderness of Guatemala when........

[Susan Denee | Teacher of Emotional Skillset @SusanDenee]

I'm yelling at the guide, using all my high-school Spanish swear words I can think of, mocking him and his suggestions. The horse begins to slow with the guide's help. I shakily take a cigarette out of the pack and begin to smoke. Ride from hell. And still need to learn Spanish.

@MaryMendiola I have a few books that have collected dust since I bought them. I'm a recovered addict though, so I will buy stuff just to change how I'm feeling --- and books are a hell of a lot healthier than my other options!
