What is it to be assertive?
Being assertive means taking into account one's own and others' rights, desires, needs and aspirations. Assertiveness means encouraging others to openly express their own views, desires, feelings so that both parties can take appropriate action.
What does it mean to be passive?
Passive behaviour is expressed by acquiescing to the wishes of others and undermining individual rights and self-confidence.
Example:
Q: "Do you think you can find time to wash the windows today?"
Passive response, "Yes, I'll wash them after I finish shopping, cook, pick the kids up from school and wash the car!"
Assertive response, "I won't be able to wash them today as I have a lot of other things to do."
What does it mean to be aggressive?
When you behave aggressively towards someone else, you undermine their rights and self-esteem.
Aggressive people rarely show appreciation and their behavior offends others. Aggressive responses encourage others to act unassertively - aggressively or passively.
Aggressive behavior can be expressed in giving orders, ignoring, and disregarding others' feelings.
People who get an aggressive response may wonder what caused such a reaction and what they did to deserve it.
If thoughts and feelings are not stated clearly and accurately, it can lead to a situation where some people manipulate other people into agreeing with their thoughts and desires.
