WHERE ARE YOU ON THE ASSERTIVENESS SCALE?
If we are too passive, we tend to carry around our hurt feelings. If we are too aggressive, we intensify angry feelings that can get out of hand. Assertiveness is about calmly and confidently speaking up for ourselves in a way that helps in our dealings with other people and ability to effectively solve problems.
