Which are you? Do you mumble things under your breath as you turn around juuuuuust loud enough for you to feel like you said it to the person it was meant for or do you look them in the eye and have the guts to say it?
A passive aggressive person is not my favorite kind of person. The person who says “I was just joking” is the person who isn’t convicted in their own words and shouldn’t be saying them to start with. The person who says “I was talking to myself” when it was clearly meant for you to hear is the kind of person who lacks confidence.
Say what you mean and mean what you say. Let your yes mean yes and your no mean no. And if you intend to hide behind selling your own words as a joke or offering up a manipulative apology WHEN the things you say can’t be defended by your own thoughts, maybe just don’t say them.
If you are going to be any kind of aggressive, think it through, be willing to defend it, and formulate it with open conviction.
