Do you struggle to say no? If you can’t ever say no to anybody, then your relationships are not healthy.

1.. Imagine that you are a confident person who marries a very aggressive person. You love your partner very much, so when he or she suggests that you both move to an isolated (偏远的) island, you say yes.

Then you spend ten years on the island with your partner and you don’t see anybody else. 2., shouting at you and calling you stupid. You try to change your behaviour to avoid getting shouted at, so after a while you never do anything that you want to do. 3.. After ten years you return to the mainland. You are no longer a confident person because you have forgotten how to be yourself.

That is how our relationships with others can shape who we are in a bad way. Does this sound like you?

4.. An aggressive person uses dominating(专横的) behaviour to get what he or she wants without thinking of others. An assertive person is someone who is able to say what they want but also respect what others want. You could say that being assertive is about being true to yourself and who you are.

But being assertive doesn’t mean that you have to say what you want all the time. 5., you don’t have to stop in order to be true to yourself. Maybe your truth is that you are happy to sometimes do things you dislike if doing them helps other people.
