Assertiveness is a key life skill and has a key role to play not just in terms of how others perceive you but more importantly how you perceive yourself. How you behave in a situation determines how others respond to you and treat you. That response has a bearing on your own self-esteem. Your self-esteem determines how confident you are the next time while interacting with others and how you behave in that particular situation. This is a cause and effect relationship. How you behave in a situation is the key. If you behave assertively, others around you will treat you right and you will feel more confident, leading to you getting what you want.
If you are assertive, you are able to disagree with people when the need arises, you are able to say no without worrying about the relationship and you are able to ask for what you need/want. There is a fine difference between being assertive vis-à-vis being aggressive or passive. Assertive people do not feel stress or anxiety in standing up for themselves and dealing with difficult situations.
