Assertive Behavior Vs Assertive Personality
There is a big difference between assertive behavior and an assertive personality. Assertive behavior that is also respectful while still allowing a person to make their own needs and wants known is healthy.

Assertive communication is a healthy way for a person that has trouble standing up for themselves to communicate with others without allowing others to control or manipulate them.
