How to deal with difficult people

Author's Name: Jill Hayson

Typically, when someone is passive-aggressive, they are vague; they send mixed signals about what they really mean. They may use sarcasm, jokes, or subtle hostile provocation, often followed by an "it was just a joke" denial that there is a problem. If you feel offended or offended by what they say, they may accuse you of overreacting.
Instead of saying what he feels or thinks, a person who hides his hostility usually mutters his rejection to himself and uses nonverbal ways to express his feelings, such as staying silent with you, giving you nasty looks, or rolling his eyes.
A passive-aggressive person is adept at playing the victim. Unable or unwilling to consider their own role in the situation, they remain silent, sullen, and gloomy in order to attract attention or sympathy. If they can, they will find a way to blame others and avoid taking responsibility for their own feelings, which they have in fact brought upon themselves through their own actions.
