Have you ever passively sugar coated your needs in a hidden way or being on the receiving end of trying to figure out the missing puzzle piece? We've all been there! Passive aggression is one of the most frustrating (yet most common) behaviors to see because it can be so hard to pin down and ultimately fix. Lindsey and Amber discuss a few tips that you can use to nudge your friend, loved one, or colleague to interact with you in a more productive, straightforward way.

1. Don't label them as "passive aggressive."

2. Focus on the content, not the delivery.

3. Figure out what the other person cares about.

4. Call attention to what's happening.

5. Make a straightforward request.
