Spring break hit Olney last week. For some, it’s a panic to see the kids on the loose for a week or two, but for me, I love seeing all the exciting activities the kids partake in during spring break.
Words are the primary vehicle of communication. The way we talk shapes our emotional, social, and community health and stability. However, how something is said, often says more than what is said. The most damaging communication pattern is the passive-aggressive style. This form of talking avoids direct expression of thoughts and feelings while indirectly conveying anger, resentment, or hostility. Compared to assertive communications, talking in a passive-aggressive way corrodes trust, damages relationships, and creates emotional strain.
For me and maybe sometimes for others, controlling a situation or problem in our lives creates less stress and a little peace of mind.
