Essay: When you choose to be assertive, you won't always get everything you want. With that in mind, why should you still choose to communicate assertively? Provide two reasons.
Student Answer: It is important to express how you feel and not hold it in. In some situations, it can cause resentment towards that person. We blame them for maybe keeping us from something or hurting us and later we resent them for things we missed out on or opportunities we missed. |
