We all have an aggressive drive (all of us!) - built in when we were born.
1. So how do you want it served up from others?
a. Passive aggressively (consider that hiding our feelings in order to be polite does not dissipate the aggression, only channels it underground where it is expressed in some other way)
b. Assertively (consider that it might be most respectful to self & others to state clearly what we want and need, regardless of what the other person might say or do)
c. Aggressively (do what we want without regard for others and their safety - it may seem to work for a time, but this can come back to bite us and cost us in both the short-term and long-term)
If you chose b., then use your voice. Consider doing to others as you would have them do to you.
