tbh, these days people are so far in the other direction that people who are assertive get labeled as aggressive/arrogant.
these broad strokes personality types exiat:
- passive
- passive aggressive
* assertive
- aggressive
the only healthy one on the list is assertive and while we all at times put on the other 3 masks, being assertive; meaning saying and doing what you think in a direct manner (this doesn't mean unkind), asserting what you want, and being honest to yourself and others is also the only adult personality in that list
