Agressive is when you express you feelings or opinions in a threatening manner.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| "Hey lets go and play some basketball." | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| "NO, we are going to do what I want to do or I'm not going to hang out with you!" | |

Assertive is when you can stand up for yourself and you can express your feelings in a way that doesnt threaten the other person.

 | |  |
| "Hey, I wanted to see if you wanted to go roller blading with me and a bunch of other people tonight." | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| "I'm sorry, but I just dont feel up to roller blading tonight. Thanks for asking though." | |
