Document Summary
Men are socialized more freely to be assertive, women are socialized to be less assertive. There are different levels of comfort with assertiveness. You are able to balance your own rights and interests with those of others. This is different from aggressiveness because when you are being aggressive, you are going over someone else"s rights. Aggressive people place themselves above others and demand things of others. Respect myself: who i am and what i do. Recognize my own needs as an individual: that is separate from what is expected of me in a particular role, such as son , daughter , boyfriend , student . Make clear i statements about how i feel and what i think. Recognizing that it is normal to make mistakes. For example, when people ask you to do something, you have the right to say.
