When we are passive, we allow others to choose for us, we are inhibited and lack self-confidence. As a reaction to our passivity, we whine, withdraw, fear our own anger or fear anger from someone else.
When we are aggressive, we choose for others but by hurting them. We are expressive but at the expense of another. If we don't like others behavior, as a reaction, we punish or hold a grudge. We frustrate others and our self. We use others in a victimizing way to get what we want.
When we are assertive, we feel good about our self, as we express and choose for our self. As a proactive response to our assertiveness, we are interested in the feelings of another and feel good about our own feelings. We take responsibility for our own fears, and how we feel. We feel good that we are uninhibited to express our thoughts and we feel good by asserting our self, regardless of the outcome!
Are you being passive or aggressive, but like to be more assertive?
Are you aware of the passive, aggressive, assertiveness difference in yourself?
