Essay: When you choose to be assertive, you won't always get everything you want. With that in mind, why should you still choose to communicate assertively? Provide two reasons.
Student Answer: It Builds Respect: When you're assertive, people are more likely to respect you because you're clear about what you need or want. It helps prevent misunderstandings and shows you value yourself enough to speak up.
It Reduces Stress: Being assertive means you're not bottling up your feelings or letting others take advantage of you. It can help you feel more in control of situations and less anxious about things building up. |
