How To Deal With Passive Aggressive People

Don't react in an effeminate way when people are passive aggressive towards you. Do what I tell you to do in this video instead.

In this short video from a live Q&A with my private group of men who are growing stronger everyday in every way, we discuss how to deal with passive aggressive people. Let me know what you think.

P.S. If you're interested in becoming a KING in your life (in fitness, business and with women) and want to join a group of like-minded men who are growing stronger everyday in every way in this degenerate age...

Done.

Confrontation does not always lead to conflict.
Avoiding confrontation always leads to conflict.

Also passive aggressive behavior is sometimes phased in a joking manner where they want to say something about you, to you and think you won’t catch them. Clarify their joke to them and they go away.

Passive aggression goes nowhere and is pointless avoid people who use this tactic

If you are someone who is confident, direct and grounded to your principles at all times you are like Kryptonite to passive aggressive people they will avoid you. "Know thyself and you will become known." - The Gospel of Thomas.

My Ex’s daughter was EXTREMELY passive aggressive and always said the slickest shit. Thank God I ran away from those toxic ass people.

Yeah literally everytime someone says something passive aggressive, just say "say that again". They crack on the spot bro

The best way to deal with such people is to not deal with them.

Men especially need to reduce the passive-aggression today. It's harming the aggressor most... resentment, sleepless nights, rage... it's less uncomfortable in the longrun to hit it then and there. "Hold up, hold up - so you're saying <repeat their insult> ....?" Really puts them on the spot, especially in a group and ESPECIALLY if the MF whispered that passive insult.

The whisper is a real bitch move but also the most toxic sometimes, especially in a group.
Having people repeat their insult is one of the golden techniques with high success, you're leveraging power and having them self reflect (for once).

When you clear it up . They call you paranoid and covertly f with you more(it’s like they start off small and keep pushing it until they find your weaknesses)

Disengagement is the best strategy.
Passive agressives are trying to provoke a response from you.
The best thing to do is recognize their behavior and ignore it.
Starve them of the response they desperately seek from you that validates their agression.

I work in law enforcement, when i started 4 years ago i couldn’t believe how passive aggressive supposed “alpha” males were. This is really useful advice

This is such a great question !!! I deal with some one like that at my house . I have done nothing to start any thing, but some one that is jealous of me . And always try’s to annoy me in the most passive aggressive way . It’s terrible

💯 clarity is definitely how you handle these tactics. For complex topics where someone is being passive aggressive the number one question that wrecks that junk is: “That’s interesting; why would you ask me that?” or “That’s interesting; why would you say that?”

I have a colleague where he would usually ask a question like "Are you okay" I used to respond "yeah I'm good" and when I said that he would follow it up with "You're tired, you don't seem at it tonight" and I used to just shrugg it off and ask work question like "how was this room and is it all good for drinks and stuff?" And he used to respond "Of course it's okay what's wrong with you" because of experiences like this in the past I now respond to his first question differently. The first question being "Are you okay". I now respond with "Of course I am why wouldn't I be" and I would keep frame and give him a tap on the shoulder as to say Ay respect me and the slog I do at work. Ever since I have responded in this way to this kind of tone I get more respect now because of it. Not that I was looking for any of that kind of validation but you know respect me and I respect you kind of thing you know. Is that passive aggresive what I done? In my job I would do a lot of the physical work where as my colleague would do the audit.

Create your tribe and your standard, and continue to move forward...we are men, the truthful ones

I like it. Asking questions forces the person to clarify their intent, and passive aggression is inherently dishonest. It's concealing the true meaning of the statement behind another. Asking clarification forces the passive aggressor to either cower and insist they meant what they did not (you win they lose), get direct (win-win for both), or snub you and come out in the open with their contempt, showing who they really are. I love this method. Thanks, Elliot.

Very intelligent advice. I feel like Elliott has a psychology degree.

Personally I really feel there are many times when passive aggressive behavior needs to be addressed in order to address what is causing that unpleasant behavior. From my anecdotal experience someone normally is passive aggressive because they want to create an unpleasant emotion in their target, and either they are reacting to something that needs to be addressed, they are trying to shepherd a behavior or mindset in their target, or unfortunately some people just enjoy being unpleasant.

Another thing thats kinda closely related to passive aggressiveness is the whole "shit testing" thing and wierdly enough i think some men do it also not just women. One example can be some dude just coming with some prejudice or judgement to see our reaction. And when confronted they can use the term "though love" or its was just a joke bro. So the thing to do is to remain stoic and ask questions, just like Eliott explaned here i think. I think Real men use constructive critic instead of beating around bush as passive aggressiveness or explode in the shit testing fashion...
