It's such a great tip. You know, instead of saying, well, I think I'd be good at this. I'm confident I'd be good at this. Just throwing the word confident in there. Beautiful tip. Perfect tip.

Oh, that's really tough. You know, I think there's kind of two categories when it comes to passive aggressive people. There's one category where it's affecting you and your work and your ability to complete your duties and responsibilities. And then there's another category where they don't affect your work at all. It's just annoying.

And so my overarching advice when dealing with anybody difficult at work is just to not take it personally. I think it's hard when you're at work and somebody's giving you a little attitude and, you know, to get all festered and flustered and, you know, get mad at them. But, you know, don't get mad. Just get curious. You know, think about how. Like, why are they this way?

Why are they so miserable? And you talk a lot about passive aggressiveness. I want to hear your answer as well. But when people are passive aggressive, it's because they lack an ability to communicate like an adult and professionally. And I think there are some instances where actually passive aggressive behavior or passive behavior is okay.

Sometimes people might be trying to hint to you something. So something that I like to ask if you're not sure if somebody's being passive aggressive is, oh, did you mean that genuinely?

Yeah, because they're defensive and they're insecure, and that's how they're communicating in a passive-aggressive manner. So if you fight fire with fire, yeah, it typically doesn't work out.
