What is Assertiveness? Can You Be Assertive With Your Boss, Neighbor and Partner?

What is Assertiveness?

Definition of Assertiveness

An assertive person is someone who relates equally to other people
with respect and dignity. They are relaxed in their body and able to
express what they think and feel.

An assertive person has good self-esteem and strong self-confidence.
They feel equal to other people. Therefore, they do not act superior or
inferior to anyone.

A helpful thing to remember is that no one is assertive all the time because no one is self-confident all the time.  In addition, an assertive person is not always relaxed or secure.

An assertive person is able to be vulnerable in interpersonal situations because he is open and strong. For example, an assertive person is someone who is in touch with his anxieties and insecurities.  He can share this honest information with others. 

Assertive people are loving and effective in interpersonal relationships.
They can handle difficult situations with their partner or boss without
pushing or pulling, demanding or avoiding.

Assertive people stand up tall when needed.  They protect themselves from emotional abuse and physical harm. They also protect children, seniors and others who need help.

The world needs lots of assertive people to make the world a better
place for all of us. People in every country need access to Assertiveness Training courses so everyone can learn how to feel worthy and achieve solid self-confidence.
