What are some passive aggressive signals or signs you see? Could be from co workers, strangers, that supposed friendly baker last week.
It rustles my jimmies when someone is pulling off that smiling friendly attitude but they’re actually being sarcastic or make off hand comments about me. It’s almost like a way to goad me into being the arsehole of the conversation.
What about you?
I think that’s a perfect response. You’re leading with sincerity, but also throwing it back on them to try and reason out what’s really bothering them (rather than taking it on yourself).
Thanks, over the years I have failed enough at this to learn. Hoping others can benefit from that without the hurdles to get there.
