Course 2: Becoming a 7 Cups Leader - (Discussion #9) Passive-Aggressive Communication

1. The silent treatment

2. Subtle insults

3. Procrastinating on Purpose

4. Sabotage (deliberately messing something up)

5. Keeping Score (People who keep track of favors)

I know that I personally sometimes end up doing #3: Procrastinating on Purpose. I don't mean to do it, sometimes someone may tell me to do something while I'm barely listening and I forget to do it, or if I go on my phone I end up forgetting to do the task asked of me. Watching the video, I understand that I should work on it and instead of just going along with it, I could tell the person that I'm busy right now or I can write it down for insurance.

I'm happy to hear that you were able to realize where you went wrong and are willing to do better for yourself and those who you interact with

@CheeryMango

Yes! I definitely agree!

@softMusic9759

That s a huge step! I am proud of you

@softMusic9759

I that that's an awesome goal!

@softMusic9759

Great answer

@softMusic9759 What I love is that you admit this and you are willing to work on this... we all have things we do and are guilty of and know we can work on things..

Hugsssss, Tye

@Tyedyedbutterfly65

Yes! A lot of people fail to recognize their weaknesses! This is an awesome quality!

@softMusic9759

I completely understand doing some of these things while not even meaning to.

@smolecho

Yes, that is something we all often struggle with. That's why it's important to take a moment and reflect. Great point!

@softMusic9759

Sometimes we forget to do things, so I'm glad that you have the self-awareness to understand your limits. Over time, things can get better, especially if you know there is a barrier at play. Thank you.

@SynSavory

I know sometimes things get overlooked or forgotten. I try making a list of things so I have it and check off those that were done.

@softMusic9759 You did a great job by being honest here! I'm proud of you! <3

@softMusic9759

I am encouraged to hear your decision on how to handle such situation in nearest future

@softMusic9759 I think we all sometimes do things we don't mean to! I think it just matters that we learn from it and go from there :)

@softMusic9759

@softMusic9759

Great job! Keep it up!

@softMusic9759

Very Honest answer, Music

@softMusic9759 nice response!

@softMusic9759

This is so understandable. My sister has always been that way and I know she doesn't mean to be that way. She commits without evaluating her capacity. It is great that you are aware of it. That's the starting point of improvement. All the best!

@peacefulWarrior10

It's awesome that you reflect on your sister's intentions and know she ultimately doesn't mean to do harm!

@softMusic9759

Really proud of you.

@softMusic9759 That's a great answer! I understand that passive-aggressive behavior can be very hurtful as I have experienced this kind of behavior myself. You're amazing though and don't be sad about toxic people. Would you like to mention how this behavior can be damaging to our community taking into consideration your previous experiences as well?

@softMusic9759

I like your proposed strategy of writing things down for "insurance" !

@softMusic9759

i like your honesty.

@softMusic9759

I`m glad to see it has been anexperience that has taught you valuable lessons!

@softMusic9759 - that's great!

@softMusic9759

The first step is realizing your mistakes!

@MyNameIsNicole

Yes! Realizing mistakes is the way to growth!

@softMusic9759

that is a honest post :)

@softMusic9759

Im super proud that you realize this and are working on it!

@softMusic9759

Good answer!

@softMusic9759

I appreciate your honesty :)

@softMusic9759

Great goal! Well done

@softMusic9759

I definitly Agree!

Good Job!

@softMusic9759 great answer!

@softMusic9759

I also procrastinate sometimes not knowing I am doing it, then kick myself down for not completing a task.

@softMusic9759

Great answer

I like your perspective and that’s good you were able to realize through the video what you need to work on

@softMusic9759

I agree! Procrastinating on purpose is a hidden form that not a lot of people realize!
