How to respond to passive aggressive comments
Avoid reacting defensively.
When someone makes a passive aggressive comment, you may feel the need to defend yourself, or make accusations about them. Getting upset will likely do little good to change their habits.
Options are: 1. Don't fall into their trap of getting annoyed. Passive aggressive people act in under-handed ways to get your attention, because they lack maturity in communication.; 2. Getting angry is generally not the right way to react, so give yourself a few minutes to calm down and resist the urge to express your anger. Process your feelings and determine how you would like to respond.; 3. Making a passive aggressive comment can also help you realize exactly what you are doing. Immediately take a moment to breathe or do something to calm yourself before you react.; 4. If they attack you, you may feel threatened, too. Take a few deep breaths before responding.;
