People often confuse assertiveness with aggression and they are very different. Assertiveness is being clear, direct, and fair about standing up or speaking up for one’s needs in a non-confrontational, respectful way. Aggression stems from fear and anger of not getting one’s needs met. They feel threatened in some way and act more forcefully, even attacking others, to protect what they feel is threatened or to get what they want.
