Assertiveness is a mode of communication. It is the ability to express your feelings, ideas, views, and opinions openly without violating the rights of others. It is different from aggressive behaviour, which infringes on the rights of others, and passive behaviour, which compromises on our own rights.

Effects of being unassertive

The main effect of not being assertive is that it can lead to low self esteem.

If we never express ourselves openly and conceal our thoughts and feelings this can make us feel tense, stressed, anxious or resentful. It can also lead to unhealthy and uncomfortable relationships. We will feel like the people closest to us don’t really know us.

Less assertive people are likely to suffer from social phobia, anxiety and also have higher incidence of depression and substance abuse.
