How To Stop Being Passive Aggressive Before 2023 Runs Out!

How to be more expressive with your emotions, part two

Jul 02, 2023

Hiii, welcome back to another post on the blog💃💃💃 I know it’s been a looong while since I released something here, consistency should be giving me a side eye lol. If you use Instagram, kindly follow my writing page👉🏾 Instagram,I have way more subscribers than Instagram followers.

When I was a jambite and an aspirant of medical school, I definitely know that if I’d come across a blog like mine, I’d enjoy its content. And I’m sure there are lot of people like me. I need to get my blog into university aspirants’ network and I need help doing this. If you have a way to help me, please kindly reach out to me. Thank you❤❤

I wrote the first part of this blog post in January and I feel it’s a good thing I’m writing the second part in July. That’s a six month difference so if you were a passive aggressive person at the beginning of the year, you don’t have to stay so till the end of the year. Isn’t that wonderful??😇😇 If you didn’t get to read my post in January, you can do so after reading this❤

I’d be using PG to denote either passive aggression, passive aggressive or passive aggressiveness. In the first part of this post, I talked about signs of PG and how to deal with someone being PG. Today, I’ll be talking about how to stop being PG. Let’s get into itttt💃💃

1. If you feel a negative emotion come over you, give yourself time to think before you act. You can attempt to calm yourself down with a few deep breaths. Try to be aware of your behavior and opt to express your emotions in an honest and healthy way. Always remember that you can have difficult conversations respectfully.

2. Use your words carefully and don’t let your emotions control you. If you say something you didn’t mean in anger, there’s no way to ‘unsay’ it or take it back.

3. Know what triggers you. Everyone has a pet peeve, knowing yours would help you to prepare in handling a triggering situation when it comes. (Everyone that has that controversial topic that stimulates their adrenaline and makes them ready for a fight).

4. Learn to be open- say what you feel. Don’t bottle up your emotions. Be assertive, problems are solved through confrontations because both parties reach an understanding. Nobody can read your mind🌚

5. Find the root- find out the things that make you passive aggressive.

6. Be patient- change takes time and effort. Overcoming habits is a process.

At the end of the day, PG is neither beneficial nor helpful. It is not a solution as it makes things even worse. Get rid of the fear of confrontation and release your aggression in an assertive way. And please if you want to have a difficult conversation with someone, speaking with the person physically or making a phone call is way better than texting.

A lot of PG people have learnt that anger is bad so they prefer to give the angry smile.

I hope this post was beneficial, don’t forget to share so that others can read and learn something too🤗

So, what have I been up to since my last post?

1.     Two of my results have been released and I bless the name of the Lord for my scores. I’m very grateful to Baba God and I hope they get better in subsequent exams.
2.     Academically, I’m in a critical place and I hope I pull through. The workload is more and my exams are getting closer. Medical school can be a tough place but my Jesus is greater.
3.     I talked about my birthday in my last post and even though it’s passed, I had a blasttt💃💃Check my Instagram to see my pictures in 3D😅😅
4.     My favourite song right now is Ojapiano by Kcee, it’s been in my head rent free

How have you guys beennnn?? I hope things are going pretty well, you can gist me in the comments on what you’d like to share. I love hearing from you guys🤗
