Do You Assert Yourself?

By: Diane Wachowski | 2010-04-01 | Communications
Many people experience difficulty in handling interpersonal situations requiring them to assert themselves in some way, for example, turning down a request, asking a favor, giving someone a compliment, expressing disapproval or approval.

The non-assertive person avoids or acquiesces to the other person's demands by failing to stand up for himself or standing up for himself in such an ineffectual manner that his rights are easily violated. The aggressive person stands up for himself in such a way that he violates the rights of the other person and ruptures the relationship. The assertive person stands up for himself in such a way that the rights of the other person are not violated. This contributes to the other person's feelings of being valued and respected. read more
