I agree with all of the above but I do notice the phenomenon of certain people who are nasty and yet do manage to draw others to them like flies. Sometimes I think it’s a survival thing. In order to avoid being the target some will try to become an ally.

I have developed enough self confidence that this kind of thing doesn’t bother me much. A great response that i use when someone says something cutting or passive aggressive is “Why would you say that?!!” It catches them off guard and points out the inappropriateness of their remark. Those kind of people will keep acting that way until someone calls them on it.

I just came back form seeing “Bridesmaids” and there is a scene in that movie where one of the characters blurts out exactly what she is thinking when a “mean” situation arises. It is hysterical and there is nobody, I bet, that doesn’t relate to it.
