Insensitive Comments!!!!!

Something I find helpful when people are passive aggressive, like this woman, who couch their language with things like, "for your own good, you might want to know..." is to ask them, "in what way is that for my own good?" or "why would I want to know that?" <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

It makes them have to defend their questionable behavior. Typically they give you a never mind and get flustered. <o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

If you get someone who will go the step further, "people have complications from this surgery." I keep asking questions like they are the dumbest people on earth, "yeah, they do, and again, you think me and this man are identical?" <o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

There are all kinds of things you can ask. It helps from losing ones temper. Blank face and explain yourself questioning. <o:p></o:p>

Ah........I do love this support group. I find it sad and humorous at the same time that my co-workers (and a few friends) find it difficult to support me in this surgery, and yet I can come here in the comfort of this site and receive support from you all. Thanks! I really want to say f... off to all those passive aggressive people out there. I haven't told my own mother yet cuz I just don't want to hear it! Karen
