Becoming Assertive:
Assertiveness is the quality of being self-assured and confident without being aggressive.
In the field of psychology and psychotherapy, it is a learnable skill and mode of communication. – Wikipedia.
There are positive and no-positive ways to do this.
A shy child may get beaten by his father and told to get out there and be more forceful and the shy child becomes a bully like his father.
A feminist may teach a young woman how to be a bully and narcissist so that she is not pushed around by men in the future.
Once a person is recognized as having issues dealing with people and not being able to firmly and assuredly getting their opinion, views and ideas across to other people he or she is taught a more peaceful way to grow and become more assertive.
One way to do this is to volunteer for the little jobs you don’t want to do out of fear or worry ad do them. Confidence grows with each success, and learning comes from each failure.
