article: If you find that you regularly irritate others, you might want to work on changing parts of your behavior. Start by thinking more positively. If your thoughts are positive, you are more likely to behave in an optimistic and approachable way. Every evening, think of three good things that happened today. Cultivating an attitude of gratitude can help you feel better and share these good feelings with others. An instructor can help you better identify the behaviors you need to work on and what you can do instead. You will be able to practice communicating well in a positive environment with other students who are trying to improve.  Look online for classes, seminars, or workshops in your area. You may be able to take a class at your school. Check with local therapists to see if they offer group workshops. A common reason that people get irritated is when they are treated rudely. Try to always use good manners so that you don’t upset someone. Don’t interrupt, always say please and thank you, and greet people in a friendly way. You can also be polite by respecting other people's’ personal space.  Be attentive to others. Show that you are listening by maintaining eye contact (or looking at them) and asking questions when appropriate. . Pay attention when they talk about how they feel, and take their emotions seriously. People deeply appreciate people who make them feel heard and understood. Making a habit of validating people's feelings can go a long way to helping them feel comfortable around you, and helping them enjoy spending time with you. It can be really irritating if someone is constantly talking about themselves. If you've realized that you are guilty of this, figure out some ways to correct the problem. For example, ask other people questions about themselves. If you're talking about how much you loved Breaking Bad take time to ask the other person what their favorite show is.   If you notice you've been talking about yourself a lot, pause and ask a question about the other person, such as "So how has your day been?" When someone is telling a story, try not to always jump in and say, "I had the same thing happen to me!" It's okay to empathize, but it's also okay to let other people steer the conversation. Notice whether the other person is asking questions. A person who is genuinely interested might prompt you to keep talking about yourself, in which case, keep doing so until the subject naturally changes. Maybe you irritated someone. That's okay, it  happens to everyone. Don’t beat yourself up for it. Occasionally being annoying doesn't make you a bad person. Instead, just make an effort to smooth things over by apologizing to the person you annoyed, if appropriate, and moving forward.

Be clear and specific with requests. Express your feelings. Seek a solution to the problem. Listen and observe. Accept that conflicts are okay."
article: Changing a behavior you have built up overtime takes a lot of time and persistence. Remember that change is a process that is not always linear. Don't be afraid to go back to the beginning and re-assess your behavior. At the same time, don't be hard on yourself if you find yourself unsuccessful on your first attempt. The more you practice and work through your passive aggressive tendencies, the more likely you are to successfully change your behavior. If you find yourself getting off track in your attempts to change passive-aggressive behavior, take a moment to pause and reflect on what is happening. If you want to stop acting passive aggressive, you may be wondering what your other options are. A healthier form of communication is known as “assertive” communication. Assertive communication is a healthy, respectful way to address and confront the person or situation that is causing you to become angry.  It involves speaking your mind when you are angry but maintaining respect for the other people around you. Part of assertive communication is acknowledging that your needs as well as the needs of the other person (or people) involved are important. This takes the focus off of you and shows that you are appreciative of the needs of others. Using “please” and “thank you” can go a long way towards seeming respectful of another. Treat the other party with respect, acknowledging that they have a side to the story as well. Remember to think of any actions you would like the other party to take as requests, not demands.  This will help you word your request appropriately.  It is important that you are specific and that you do your best to stick to the actual facts. While you do want to provide factual information, it is okay to include the way that you feel when you are expressing your anger.  You can emphasize words like “I feel like” or “it makes me feel,” which may help prevent the other party from becoming defensive. Ideally, you and the party to whom you are expressing your feelings can collaborate on a solution to the problem that is making you angry.  Unfortunately, you cannot control the actions of others, and you may need to seek a solution on your own. For example, you and your neighbor may brainstorm ways to keep the dog in check, such as keeping him on a leash or in a fence.  If, however, the neighbor refuses to cooperate, you might have to come up with a solution on your own, such as fencing in your own yard. Communication is just as much about listening and reading unspoken messages as it is about speaking openly and directly. Consider what the other person is saying or not saying in response to your own words or actions.  Remember that conversations are 2-sided and that you are speaking with another human who also has thoughts and feelings. Disagreements are not uncommon. Some of the confrontations you encounter may not be conflicts but rather misunderstandings. You usually are not in any danger if you can defuse your anger and make your discussions constructive and positive. It's possible to agreeably disagree and be able to work out compromises that bring "win-win" results to both parties involved. In this way, you are taking control instead of allowing passive aggressive behavior to send issues out of control.

Asking about open positions in person is a little different than asking in writing. You won’t have time to revise what you say, so you should prepare ahead of time. Practice what you’ll say, including your education level, experience, and why you’re interested in that company. You might not get an interview right away, but if you have this information prepared, it can go a long way toward impressing a hiring manager. You should dress for these types of encounters the same way you would if you were going in for an interview. The first impression is the most important, and you want the hiring manager to take you seriously. It also shows that you’d reflect well on their company, since you dressed appropriately just to ask if there are any openings. Hiring managers are usually not out on the floor of businesses or stores. Ask the nearest employee—or the receptionist if there is one—if you could speak to the hiring manager. If they ask why, explain that you’re interested in any open positions at the company. If the hiring manager isn’t available, politely inquire when would be a better time to return to speak to them. In some cases, you may be able to procure an application from the employee you speak to. When the hiring manager comes out, act professionally. This means shaking hands, making eye contact, and being polite. Explain who you are, and why you’re there. The hiring manager may ask for your resume after they meet you. You should have at least one copy with you. If the hiring manager says there are no current openings, you can ask if you can leave your resume for future consideration. Carry your resume in a wrinkle-proof, waterproof case. Avoid handing over a resume that is folded, creased, wrinkled, or damp, as this makes a poor impression.
