The majority of people believe that assertiveness is inextricably linked to saying No, so they negate everything. I would modify this by stating that assertiveness is the ability to behave and communicate with others in a strong and confident way.
Assertive communication is the competence to deliver messages that clearly reveal your intentions, without destroying the protocol of etiquette.
The eyes can be used as a powerful tool to define your assertiveness. When you maintain eye contact with others during the conversation, you are telling them that you are sincere and interested in what they have to say.
The comfort zone is a psychological state in which you feel comfortable because your level of stress and anxiety is low and you know what to expect.
Whenever we encounter difficult, uncomfortable or dangerous situations, a sequence of reactions will take place, which leads to the release of specific hormones.
One of the reasons why people find it difficult to assert themselves is because they were continually criticized in the past by those who played an important role in their lives.
Your reaction should be based on your knowledge of criticism.
