We've all done it. It would feel too vulnerable to tell someone that we are hurting in some way so our defense mechanisms conjure up some passive aggressive comment. The truth might sound like “I’m feeling really stressed & overwhelmed and I could really use some support” but it might come out like “you could never understand what I go through, you’ve never even worked a day in your life!” Whether you’re the one giving the communication or receiving the communication, be aware of what’s actually being said. It’s often a cry for help. Opening up lines of honest communication can be hard but it's so worth it. All of our needs matter 🙏 #passiveaggressive #communication #communicationskills #personalgrowth #mindfulness #spiritualgrowth #healing #compassion
