The difference between aggressive and assertive
Just for future reference - I was having a conversation with someone the other day who made it clear that they didn't know the difference even though they ought to.
- Assertive is not taking any shit from other people.
- Aggressive is handing out shit to other people.
Of course you can be both at the same time, but assertive by itself is far better. If you don't know the difference and you find people give you trouble, you probably need to tune down the agression and up the assertiveness.
