Being Assertive Versus Being Aggressive

Being assertive is the ability to stand up for yourself. It's about owning your inherent worth, protecting your values and acting an alignment with your vision even if it requires uncomfortable conversation or confrontation. In a society where men are trained to be pathological people pleasers, most of us mistake assertiveness for aggression. Both passive and aggressive men see other people as the cause of every problem in their life. The only difference is how they respond to that problem.
