Person is not getting their wants met.... So then they get angry....and start making false accusations.... Lol...
Yes people can be annoying ....
People have called me cruel but typically U am only like that when I have been provoked...other then that I have learned to keep to myself.
I started going to a local club to help me. I remembered that as a kid I had liked Quest for El Dorado, so bought a copy. I’ve now got all the expansions and upgraded the Meeples to miniatures which I’ve painted. I even acquired promo cards and surplus boards to make this 8 player for true chaos! The only other game to get this response out of me is Caracassonne, which I now have acquired every expansion of interest, a custom box and a game that has to be played over multiple sittings!
Love it! Thanks for sharing. :)
I have a question regarding passive aggressive behavior from roommates!
Sure! What's the question? :)
Is this applicable even though your passive aggressive husband does not want to conversate even for 1 month?
I'm sorry to hear of those challenges, but yes. I would recommend the same steps to try and initiate a conversation and get some movement. I would then also recommend some strong boundaries of not accepting that type of behavior as it is inappropriate to be avoidant and non-communicative with your spouse for a month. I would challenge the behavior with expressing how it affects you and asking what the intention is behind it and expressing a very clear boundary of it not being acceptable. I hope that helps.
This is not real passive aggressive They are usually manipulative and action responsive
How do you handle an instructor who calls any attempts at stating your own needs as a student, hostility, responds to any attempts to clarify and deescalate with passive aggressive comments and more accusations of you being hostile. It doesn't matter the tone or approach used anything we bring up is taken as a personal attack and when the instructor inevitably doesn't get the emotional reaction, they leave the class to go tell their boss that the student(s) in question are being hostile. I am genuinely concerned about potential retaliation, the instructor made it very clear they were keeping track of the students they considered "hostile" and this is a class of adults who paid to be there.
I'm sorry to hear as that sounds like a very tricky and frustrating situation. As there is a power dynamic there, I would recommend to document as much as possible in writing to get clarification of the misinterpretation and expressing your intentions to hopeful clear any misunderstanding on the instructors part. There is always the potential for misinterpretation in any form of communication and the best we can do as the speaker is express our intention to hopefully clear the misunderstanding. I have a video on this that I would recommend watching here: ua-cam.com/video/FbBIZvLfFNo/v-deo.htmlsi=BDSCoL3zc4uG2f0d Hope that helps. :)
I Can’t do what I’m passionate about. I can’t do anything I even like. I need this to stop
I'm sorry to hear about your challenges. What is it that you are passionate about if you don't mind me asking?
@@soaringfamiliescounseling skiing, hiking and horseback riding. I hate sitting in my house not being able to even sit up without feeling like Im dying. I just finished high school and I didn’t even get a chance at life. I wanted to go to university and be a biologist and travel the world
@@SoOverBored I am sorry to hear about these challenges. It can be very difficulty to cope with adjustments and the grief of losing something you hoped for or expectations. A helpful practice as described in the video can be reframing in looking at what you can accept and do within your passion. Is there something that you can find passion in within your limitations?
@@soaringfamiliescounseling I’m not sure how. They’re all physical things and I can barely get up
@@SoOverBored How would you feel about enjoying videos or some other format of your interests? I know it may not be the same but is there some enjoyment and passion you can get from those formats?
For not why me ... but why is society so Ego driven that we make no room or education for anyone who may need to live and give communication and time differently... I lost ALL but one of 7 close knit girlfriends when my multiple, mostly invisible and suppressed conditions, combined and fed off each other. Like some sick infectious succubus, to then form the ultimate cortisol demon and made everyone of those pillars blame me for my behaviors. The loss of support and understanding left me stunned. I heard everything fro.m. if you had really wanted to you would have remembered on your own to show up to.... don't you actually have to be disabled to file for disability.. to after everything we did for you to leave an abusive ex you ghost us . .. Society needs to place more importance on understanding people's behaviors and that not everyone lives their lives on a instant gratifying response and if we truly value and appreciate someone's addition to our lives we take the time to learn about what their life truly looks like ... Because I can bet that most of you out there watching this with a chronic illness has very few people who actually know how much pain you're in and how much you struggle with it❤ THANK YOU for creating content for all of us STRONG AMAZING unique souls out there giving it the everything we can every day Hoping to be seen as the real us that illness can't steal and own only dull . Acknowledging.... Hey , yes, I see you and also know this is one of the most painful ,lonely soul testing life roles on can onku know by experience, BUT u aren't alone on this journey ❤
Today I learned that it's ok to feel my feelings. To acknowledge them and think it's ok to feel this way - was a relief for me. I thought I was feeling how I felt but I was actually trying to push them away because to feel physical pain, sadness and loneliness is painful. Who wants to pay attention to that? I am empathetic and compassionate with others but not with myself, and I figured out why. It's because of my traumatic experiences as a child. I'm seeing a counselor for healing from anxiety. I'm going to journal how I feel each day, validate my feelings and accept my feelings. Thank you 💕
I am happy to hear! Validate your own feelings and practice some self-love and compassion. It's completely alright and normal to do! :)
Keep up the good work. Your vids are a must to watch.
I am loving your videos. Found your channel on the way to work! On my third video now! Thank you! xx
Wonderful! I appreciate that. Please comment if there is any particular topic you would like to see that would be helpful. :)
Thank you!
Hope it helped. :)
I am so excited to come across this video. Just filmed the video for 1st stage in family life cycle scheduled for 27th Sept and there I have talked about how husbands can show support to their wives during pregnancy. Listening to your view from a male perspective has been great.Yes, asking wives as to how men can help out is a great tip and your illustration of diabetics was enlightening too. I am from Nagaland, North Eastern part of India and in my own small way I will definately share this link in my video because I feel listening from a man will resonate with men better.
Thank you for the kind words and support. I greatly appreciate it. :) Good luck with your video content. I am looking forward to seeing it. :)
Very good info!! (Sometimes bosses are looking for ways/reasons to get rid of people, & will needle someone into finally caving & reacting!!)
I have a friend he and his girlfriend will have a discussion and sometimes he will try to address certain things that he migbt want or need or things he might want to improve like she might not be affectionate or show her love towards him. She ignores what he says and does not listen as good as he thinks she could or that she is constantly on social media watching tv shows shopping on Facebook marketplaces and has her ear phones in and drowns the whole world out the majority of the time she is also on live streaming for hours having strange men ogiling her and commenting dirty things and if he addresses this and tries to say i dont like certain things you do she says why are you with me then? Whats all that about? I mean thats all she has to say? It does t seem like shes very caring or puts in much effort to want to make stuff work if thats her attitude. She also sometimes ignores his calls.
That sounds like some unhealthy dynamics and could use some clear healthy boundaries based on your friends wants and needs. I have some videos on my channel talking about boundary setting and identifying core values in relationships that may be helpful for them. :)
My wife is currently 11 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I’m so scared of a miscarriage that it’s so hard to enjoy how amazing this blessing is. My wife and sister brought it up to me that I need to relax and not let that get to me so much. It’s hard to manage it.
Congratulations! Very exciting! It's understandable to be nervous about this possibility and I definitely had those worries with our 2 children. My best advisement is to be in the moment with your wife and enjoy the experience. As the worries come in practice your grounding exercises and mindfulness skills to be in the moment with your wife to enjoy your experience. Congratulations again! :)
Get your divorce papers ready
People need to feel their emotions properly and own and process them. I think this video applys to people you actually care for or are doing therapy on, as for the rest they gotta focus hard on producing their own happiness like the rest of us.
I am desperately trying to get distance from my neighbor who is storming around full of herself while she doesn't ever make eye contact with me, but is always watching and disapproving of me. Her goal is to control me, make my dog imprisoned in a stupid fence I was bullied into paying her $885 for, but don't use because my dog is very well behaved. She really wants me to move out but I have 10 more months on my lease and I'm paid in full-- otherwise I'm starting to think I would like to. She actually looks into my cabin and saw me coming out of the bathroom again today. 😡 We're both complaining to the landlord but never talking it out. I'm the new kid here and she's got the owners thinking she's a good person when she's got the characteristics of the narcissist. I tend to attract them as an empath.
I'm very sorry to hear about this challenging situation. It can be very frustrating and overwhelming with a sensitive scenario like this. Have you tried to address the conflict or misunderstandings directly with them and how do they respond if so?
@@soaringfamiliescounseling ♥️thanks for your reply and concern. I haven't tried talking with her because she is a raging storm I don't want to go near. But I'm in the process of writing to her today in language of Nonviolent Communication stating my feelings and needs-- which I know she doesn't care about, so Im not expecting a lot. But I will be handing it to her boyfriend who is a nice person (but is enabling her by always supporting her) and also a copy to the landlord (homeowner won't communicate with me) so that there's proof I am waving a white flag. Also instead of imprisoning my dog I am seriously finding other places to spend my time. I just have to be careful about not giving her the impression she has "won" and has power over me. Narcissists are tricky
@@lucid_747 It sounds like you are trying to handle this situation in the least confrontational way possible and I commend that practice. It's definitely not the easiest approach. I wish you the best of luck! :)
@@soaringfamiliescounseling thanks for your supportive encouragement! I checked in with myself over the weekend and took notes about everything i could think of, and organized most of it into a letter. I made sure my tone was not fearful, but confident. It turned out well. I repeated everywhere that I want peace peace peace with them. Narcissists have power by keeping their bad behavior a secret-- so I texted it to both her and her boyfriend last night (I wonder how surprised he is at how she's been treating me) and to the landlord🙏🏼 Hopefully this is the end of the trouble🙏🏼
@@lucid_747 Good luck! :)
Hello your absolutely amazing! I would like to chat kindly!! Thanks so much! Godbless.
I appreciate the kind words! :) If you would like to get in contact, all of my contact information is linked in my profile and website. :)
I know that a lot of passive aggressive behavior comes from narcissists. And do a narcissist just enjoys the drama and chaos and putting others down. So even though calling it to attention might make them look bad, it probably won’t fix the situation or change the way they communicate
This can be a possibility and ultimately the redirecting or "calling out behavior" is more for your own self-advocacy versus trying to change another person. That way we feel empowered to set our own boundaries, advocate for ourself, and set consequences or make decisions related to that relationship knowing or feeling confident we did our own part. Hope that helps. :)
Some people be testing my moral and my belief in God I have to be honest it gets hard trying to be righteous and pure when people wanna be hard
This can be a challenging when others are "testing" or pushing on your beliefs and values. This is where healthy and strong boundaries of not entertaining the topic at all may come in handy. EXE: "We may have different beliefs and values and that is fine. For the sake of our common interest relationship in everything else, I would like us to no longer talk about my beliefs in God." Then you can set the boundary along with the corresponding consequences if this boundary is infringed on. Hope that helps. :)
OR not... lol
Oh my gosh ive done that in the past it didnt work. Instead narcissist says what you mean? You making something out of nothing. The narcissist says i not talking to you. So why you upset? This person is just awful.
I'm sorry to hear about those experiences. Dealing with Narcissistic Personalities can be very challenging and require different tactics/skillset. I would recommend checking out my videos on Narcissistic Personality Disorder and see if that better helps your needs.
My husband is dealing with drugs addiction, he has been clean and free for years . But he has been under treatment of one medication which is itself causing addiction. However he decided to become free and stop taking this medication and this is the second day. He became very very agressive and i just don’t know how to deal with this situation. Please advise
I am sorry to hear about this. I would advise to consult together with his treatment team for more accurate and safe results for his specific needs. I am sorry I can't advise directly other than that. If there is a safety concern, please follow emergency procedures within your area of calling crisis hotline or emergency services.
My experience with responding to p/a comments with, "What are you trying to say? What is it you need?" is that I get more defensiveness from then, like I should already know, OR they gaslight and say they don't know what I'm talking about. It's exhausting. So I choose what relationships are really worth that amount of effort.
It's definitely a challenge and ultimately it's up to you and what is healthy for you and what you are willing to deal with. :)
I've spent my life being very compassionate towards people, sometimes to my detriment. I'm finally putting my self-care as a priority and no longer have the bandwidth to cater to passive aggressive people. I just call out the snarky behavior immediately with a factual, non emotional response. My boundary is, if you want to speak with me, be a kind adult. I let them know what I will or won't engage with.
Sounds like great boundaries to me! :)
Do you have any examples of what you say?
@@georgia_collects Sure. Is there a scenario that I can apply to?
@@soaringfamiliescounseling passive aggressive comments in work office / on teams, usually back-handed comments and inappropriate gifs
@@georgia_collects That can be a tricky one if there is a power dynamic at play. If it is your boss, you would want to address that differently than a coworker. I do have a specific video on how to address passive aggressive bosses. For a coworker I would be more direct and express how I am interpreting the Gif or comment and ask what their intention is directly. EXE: I get a trendy silly Gif from the show The Office where it may be at my expense and rubs me the wrong way in a passive aggressive kind of way. I would address that co-worker with my interpretation and ask directly if that is what they were intending or what exactly was the intent of the comment/Gif. Keep in mind that when most passive aggressive behaviors are called out, the individual will most likely be passive and try to play it off that it wasn't. If this was the case, I would then just be direct and tell them that I didn't like it and let's keep it professional when addressing each other. I hope that helps. :)
Thank you ❤
Hope it's helpful! :)
Try asking a passive man "what do you mean by that comment?" And you will get "nothing, it was a joke". They already have avoidance behavior. (Hence, the passive aggressive mindset) Then it will be your fault.
Id rather deal with someone who is overtly aggressive rather than passive aggressive. At least you know where you stand with aggressive people. Passive aggressive people make me want to pull the hair out of my head.
Hey! I alreday have hobbies that used to make me happy, but I started to get more and more tired and unmotivated. I would like to turn my hobbies into my coping skills, because I don't have many friends, and I'm probably struggling with depression. I need help to feel motivated again, and I don't know how. Could you please help me?
Hello and thank you for sharing. I am sorry to hear you are struggling right now. I would recommend checking out my increasing motivation video based on your question. ua-cam.com/video/CpDnwZWJq0U/v-deo.htmlsi=5h1oOyTMXAclKG5x In this video I talk about the difficulties of motivation when we are depressed. I talk about the tip of "forcing" ourself to just do whatever it is that would make us feel better. If we just "wait" for motivation, it could potentially not be there when needed and makes us go deeper into a depressive state. So my perspective is we "force" ourselves to just do it and the motivation and momentum will eventually take over and we can be engaging in our hobbies to hopefully then transition to coping skills to help our mood. I hope that helps. :)
If you have any questions on how to deal with a passive aggressive boss, feel free to post below.
Stop labelling everyone else as a narcissist. It is dangerous.
If you have any questions regarding Narcissistic Personality Disorder and or traits comment below.
My ex-husband: 1. Informed me right before we separated that his motto was "me first and everyone else second". This included our young children. 2. He was a no show for over half of his visits so I stopped telling the kids he was coming. He hated that he was a surprise and wanted them "eagerly anticipating" his visits, so he took it upon himself to tell them during phone conversations. He still skipped over half of his visits. 3. Any time he went out anywhere he complained about the service he received because it wasn't what he deserved. My Mom said, who does he think he is? The Prime Minister? 4. He bragged to me, in front of the kids, that he and his girlfriend had a fight then she said she was going to kill herself, grabbed her medicine, and went to their bedroom. He went out and bought them each a coffee, leaving hers on the table as some sort of alibi (?) before falling asleep on the couch. But she apparently didn't take enough pills (his words) because she woke up in the morning. He never once checked to see if she was okay. 5. He joined the Mormons because the missionaries praised him and gave him lots of attention. He wasn't interested in their religion and smoked a joint, had a beer, and smoked some cigarettes after his baptism. 6. He told my son that he was going to hang out with him. He told my daughter that he'd bought a bike from a local gang then it got stolen that night so he wasn't going to pay them. Now they were coming to shake him down. If he didn't call her by morning he was dead. Then knowing that both kids would be calling and people were going to panic, he turned the volume off on his phone and went to bed. 7. My daughter got completely fed up with him and cut him out of her life. He left her a note saying that he hoped her newborn would die of SIDS so she'd know what it was like to lose a child. There's so much more but I don't need to write a novel here. I definitely have my suspicions.
I'm very sorry to hear about those experiences. It definitely sounds horrible and I wish you the best of luck with what you were doing now and in your future relationships. There are definitely some unhealthy traits there that you described and I hope you don't have to deal with any further.
@@soaringfamiliescounseling thank you, we’re all non contact and have been for about five years now.
When your PA person is goofing you uo by being late it becomes necessary to be a manipulator yourself to keep them from messing things up. You have to say, "We need to get to the funeral home at 12:00 because we have a lot of stuff to arrange." even though the funeral is at 2:00. Then they will be there in time. Not fun, but you gotta do it.
Circumstances like this definitely arise and a part of how to handle it is just knowing what "fixes" work. In your case giving an extra few hour time buffer seems to do the trick. :)
Did this video raise more questions for you on what is Narcissistic Personality Disorder? Comment below on your thoughts and questions about this diagnosis and video. :)
There's nothing wrong with being passive aggressive as long as you are making a point. But it is very important to make that point clear and obvious. You need to say upfront why you have that attitude and how you feel.

Normalize, Communicate, Values! Good stuff. Thanks.

When it is obvious that we like each other and when we had a flight he said 'if you dont like me, that is fine'. Is that passive aggressive?
It's hard to say without knowing the full context, but I would say if you were second guessing the intention of the comment, it's probably a good guess that it is passive intention. I would still use the exercise of asking directly what the intention of the comment was. That way it clarifies it and you can have a direct resolution with it. I hope that helps. :)
For me, I had to learn to detach from my inner guilt to take a stand. There was a meditation book called 30 Days to Overcome Guilt by Harper Daniels that helped.
Appreciate the book mention. I'll have to take a look. :)
Comment below with some passive aggressive experiences you have faced and how you have handled it.
how can I Recognize passive aggressive someone I know
@@lukasbarnes4905 Do you have an example of the passive aggressive behavior you want to identify?
Comment below with some helpful topics or video ideas you would like to see regarding mental health topics and coping skills.
OK, so I have a very passive aggressive partner. I have done what you suggest for years. My response is almost always "nothing is wrong" or "I don't need anything from you". I try to guide the person into expressing why that passive aggressive attitude was how she communicated which ends in stonewalling, ignoring or a full blown argument which goes nowhere. I really have no idea where to go at that stage, and usually just say that she is right and I'm wrong just to get her to settle down. I know this is the wrong approach I'm taking but I really have no other idea how to deal with it. Any advice would be very helpful! Thanks and Love from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you for your comment. That can definitely be frustrating. I just released a second video that goes more in depth with how to respond to these types of behaviors and reactions. Ultimately I talk about passive aggressive individuals doubling down with their passive aggressive behaviors when being called out and not being willing or ready to accept/acknowledge their behaviors. We ultimately have to set a boundary that we didn't appreciate and won't tolerate that type of response or behavior they are admitting their behavior or not. So in your case, I would simply say, "This behavior was not appropriate and I don't want you to do x, y, or z anymore.". I hope that helps. :) For more on this, please check out my latest video here: ua-cam.com/video/Cvg9eM697x4/v-deo.html
Perfect timing!
What's with the Carrie Fisher Picture?
Just a big Star Wars fan. There's a R2 Scentsy defuser below her too. :)
