Individual Therapy : How to Deal With Passive-Aggressive Relatives

[pjperkinz]

Anyone else feel as if this lady was being passive aggressive toward you?

[CinderellaDragon]

@adiostraitorobama I agree. Things are not always what they seem, and sometimes the one who appears to be passive/aggressive - or whatever - is reacting to something as bad, or worse, in the other person(s). We are all in this together and naming, blaming and shaming without being absolutely sure that we are being accurate, and being constructive, is dangerous and can create more problems than it solves.

Wow...you should have your own show.People could learn alot from you.You taught me how to avoid people.And I'm going to use it on everyone.It works, if you work it!

[shanealan4161]

Could you explain that one more time,I didnt catch anything,oh there was nothing there to catch.Well thanks for all that........nothingness.I'll try it and see how it works.

If you've think confronting someone who is passive aggressive will work then you clearly aren't passive aggressive

[ZEBSENSEMBLE]

Yeah, that was just so blisteringly informative. What am I going to do with all this knowledge?

[Samuraionthewall]

Well yea, either you look for replacements of passive-aggressive people *OR* you confront them about it.

[nonbreeder]

Interesting, but these topics cannot be dealt with in one minute.

They way you solve it is with, ho you can’t solve it” and don’t chose ppl that act like this?…hum. OFC you can help them! these ppl have no confidence in themselves, they are insecure, the just need someone that tells them HEY! ITS GONA BE OK thrush me!, and grab them and really do something about it, don just say your going do something. DO something, don’t push the buttons that hurts, take the person to a movie or help her at home, show her/him that you are there. its about her/him not you

[rivet001]

Expand Patti we already know about the sneaky behaviours they exhibit and we know we have a choice on who we hang out with. Tell us how to handle them and the outbursts, lies, controlling etc etc.

[MrClintWright]

looks like a lady who would enjoy sand in her va*ina.

[cuetogomez]

wow....enlightening. That didnt tell me anything at all

[Brascofarian]

useless.

[prefer2balone]

Mother, you are very passive aggressive. I am going to choose a new woman to raise me.

[mat1james]

@prefer2balone hahahhaha

[bollockowithalob]

Well said, lady.

[Simbizinfo]

Hi Patty, this is spot on! Anyone who knows anything about P/A Persons, understands that there isn't anything you can do to change their behavior or their personality. Great advice!

[TSmirk]

Choose your relatives? That's absurd.

[jenilyn8705]

Um - yeah... being told to just avoid the person and not deal with them doesn't really help anything.

[46birds]

"therapist" If you knew how unprotected that title is...

[holyjesus]

I was hoping to learn how to deal with p/a people, but you just said to choose someone else. How can that work with family members?
