Novel & Cerita How Not To Be Passive Aggressive

"Don’t look away from me when I speak to you. I let out a shaky, frustrated breath, forcing myself to keep eye contact. You look a bit hot when you get softly mad like that," he added with another chuckle. "Who knew passive anger was a thing. Anyways, I’ll try not to put you in harm’s way again, or at least I’ll inform you first if I’ll be doing that," he breathed, finally letting his hand fall from my waist. "I think I can manage that much for my lovely mate," he finished, his low laugh echoing in the room.

“Did you come all the way here just to be sarcastic?” “I came here because you’re ignoring me. And since passive-aggressive post-it notes aren’t your style, I figured I’d try a more direct approach.” “I’ve been busy.” “You’re always busy. I thought being your fiancée might earn me a time slot between your global dominance and your 8 p.m. brooding session.” He sighed, leaned back, and gestured at the seat across from him. “Sit.” I stayed standing. “Why?” I asked. “So you can explain how this arrangement only requires my silence and my signature, not actual communication?”

" I asked, genuinely surprised that she could sound even more foolish. "Oh, you call that being rude? How amusing!" she exclaimed sarcastically. I shook my head, trying to explain my perspective. "I don't see it that way, Portia. I prefer to think before I act. I don't want to give Agrippina any more reasons to punish me. There's a difference between being assertive and being reckless," I replied.

“I can’t put that on him. I was a little sterner than usual. I think I’ve been tiptoeing around him and it gave him the impression I was weak or a pushover. I think, I hope, we’ve cleared up that misconception.” “Give them an inch, and they’ll take a mile,” I mused. “Trust me, I can totally understand what it’s like to be taken advantage of. People see my kindness as a weakness. They think because I’m a passive person I will never get upset or angry. They think they can ignore me or just bully me into doing whatever it is they want.” His brows shot up. “I had no idea you felt like that.”

I said while gesticulating with my hands “Take a deep breath for me.” She instructs waiting for me to do so. I rolled my eyes but still took a deep breath. “I’m not a fan of transferred aggression but maybe something bad probably happened at work and that’s why he’s acting that way just give him a couple of days to cool off.” She says and I nod even if she can’t see me. She sighs on the other end. “What?” “I just feel you’re threading through dangerous waters.” “Stop speaking in parables.”

And he spoke, "Yesterday, weren't you very determined, how did your attitude change so quickly?" Still with a condescending smile and tone, but now I didn't have the right to speak up to refute him. Knowing that I couldn't argue back against what he said, instead of getting angry and negatively affecting my mental and physical health, I put on a standard and professional smile and said, "I can do anything for you as long as you agree to that project."

"W-What? But I'm pretty sure it never flickered." He smirked. "That's because you always think highly about yourself. You didn't think of someone else just to prove you can do everything by yourself!" He went closer to me. "I'm trying my best to hold my anger. Do your best too!" He was aggressive in every word, but the way he talked to me, although it was difficult, he managed to make it calmer. He managed to be gentle. His eyes were red, watery, and exasperated.

Atlas says again, and I feel a familiar anger and impatience towards him and his mild insistence creep back up into my heart, causing it to pulsate in an aggressive rhythm. "I said that I am just a little out of it. I am pretty sure that I can take care of myself." I say through my teeth in a passive aggressive tone. Atlas is taken aback especially because he was only just trying to look out for me. I close lmy eyes as he recoils and focuses on the meeting.

“And like the two people standing in front of me ignored that.” Anton shifted closer, his voice careful. “What do you want us to do?” I laughed again, this time hollow. “I want you to act like adults,” I said. “I want you to stop treating every disagreement like it is a battlefield. And most of all, I want you to stop dragging me into the middle of it when I do not have the strength for this.” I took another breath, then exhaled slowly. “If you have something to say,” I continued, “say it calmly. If you have an issue, address it without shouting. And if you see that I am clearly not well, then please, put this aside.”
