Passive/Aggressive

Essentially, how do you react to someone being critical of you? Do you flip out on them, do you listen to what they have to say and then possibly argue it? Do you back down and stew over it quietly?

How do you deal with aggressive people?

Heh I feel like this is my thread. I'm the type of person that will let you know if you're pissing me off when you are. I've no motive to lie to someone and let them carry on and let them build up some deep redemption inside me. There's absolutely no need for it, and if you let it linger there inside you...you're going to build up the anger and suddenly (somehow) lead yourself into a stage of depression.

When I get into the point of the conversation where I get angry, I simply say "Okay, this is pissing me off and if we're going to continue with this conversation I'm through talking to you."

I was a passive person through-out high school though, but once I started growing up I realized that it's not something you should be doing to yourself: Stand-up for yourself and let them know. As corny as it may sound it's true.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
