Being assertive is about honestly communicating your thoughts, feelings and needs to others in an appropriate and clear way. Communicating assertively can give your mental health a boost. It helps you with relationships, making decisions, problem solving and dealing with conflicts. Assertiveness is the middle ground between passiveness and aggressiveness.

All that nonsense and psychobabble about about self esteem and taking charge. . Well the truth is-- this is your personality and you cannot change t he way you are born. There are pushy people in this world and there are the kind that sort of take a back seat. Let the pushy people push. Nobody really likes them and self assertive can also mean rude and uncaring
Just be yourself. Let other people be rude and just learn how to say no sometimes that is you really need , just to be able to say no sometimes.

You're a little out of balance. Step 1. Stop worrying about how other people see you. We are taught to be sensitive to others...like courtesy. Step 2. At times, you need to teach yourself not to feel ashamed about being selfish.
Your wants and needs are important too. You later to blend the two (courtesy and selfishness) together to make yourself into a well balanced person.

Be confident. On issues that you are confident about, tell yourself you are right and you're not gonna let anyone stand in your way.
