Navigating the world can be tricky, especially when it comes to the less-than-pleasant personalities in our lives. While we can manage rude drivers and overly enthusiastic mall walkers, it’s often the individuals closest to us—friends, family, or even fellow parents—that can create the most turbulence. When you find yourself encountering passive-aggressive remarks or irritating behaviors, consider this guide to help you respond with grace:
When someone says: “I’m just really competitive.”
Translation: “I thrive on belittling others to boost my own ego.”
Response: “No, you’re just being inconsiderate.”
When someone says: “You’re lucky to wear a size Large. I struggle to find clothes that fit.”
Translation: “I’m skinnier than you. Just thought you’d like to know.”
Response: “Your fixation on size is what’s truly unfortunate.”
When someone says: “I’m a Type A personality, so it has to be my way.”
Translation: “I have control issues because I’m unhappy, and I’ll impose my will on everyone.”
Response: “I think that ‘A’ might stand for arrogance.”
When someone says: “Bless your heart.”
Translation: “Let’s wrap this up so I can gossip about you.”
Response: “Bless your attitude.”
When someone says: “I act this way because of my past.”
Translation: “I know my behavior bothers you, but I refuse to change.”
Response: “No, the only reason is that you’re acting like a jerk.”
When someone says: “I’m an INFJ, so…”
Translation: “I’m judging you based on my personality type.”
Response: “Well, your personality type is inconsiderate.”
When someone says: “It seems like you’ve been busy.”
Translation: “You haven’t engaged with my social media, and I’m insecure.”
Response: “I’ve got no time for negativity.”
When someone says: “This is triggering my OCD.”
Translation: “You’re a mess, and I’ll be sharing that with others.”
Response: “Sorry, but I’m detecting some serious jerk vibes right now.”
When someone says: “I don’t mean to be rude, but…”
Translation: “I’m about to say something rude.”
Response: “What you really mean is that you’re being inconsiderate.”
When someone says: “I hope things work out for you.”
Translation: “I’m waiting for you to fail so I can revel in it.”
Response: “What I hope is that you reconsider your approach.”
By using these translations and responses, you can better navigate the murky waters of interpersonal interactions.
