Summary

In this episode, I’m starting a four-part series on killing passive aggressiveness for good, especially in men. Passive aggression is when someone avoids saying things directly, like showing up late on purpose, staying quiet when they should speak, or making a point by doing nothing. I expect that from women sometimes, but when men do it, it makes us weak, soft, and more feminine. I want men to be direct and clear, even if the truth is uncomfortable. If a few guys can change this habit, we can start changing the whole culture. Show Notes: [06:21]#1 Stop procrastinating on a NO. [13:10]#2 Stop saying you're okay when you're not all right. [21:12]#3 Feigning a lack of understanding to avoid responsibility.
