Check out these 6 phrases... how many times have they been uttered by you?

  • "Fine, Whatever!"
  • "I'm NOT angry!"
  • "I didn't realize you wanted it done now"
  • "I didn't know you wanted it done like that"
  • "Can't you take a joke?"
  • "I'm just saying"

According to Psychology Today, those are passive aggressive statements you need to recognize and stop saying. They're designed to "get back at another person without that person recognizing the underlying anger."
