assertive

[jibjab]

if assertive behaviour is the behaviour of confident "winner" type people, does that make everybody else "losers"

???

[RATTER15]

assertive has nothing to do with winning or losing!!

Assertive just means you have a positive forceful approach to things!!

Losers can be assertive too. I'm assertive and I'm also a loser. At least I'm not a dikchead though.

I think your philosophy on this subject is a little mixed up. It's a bit like arguing; "all witches have red hair, therefore everyone with red hair is a witch"

My best friend has red hair and she's a bit of a witch, but that's irrelevant right now.

So in answer to your question; No, i'm not a witch.

Winners are usually people who are prepared to take risks and go that extra mile to achieve their ambitions. You don't need to be loud, abrasive and confident to do this, you just need to have self belief and determination.

jibjab, you have been blaming your shyness for a whole host of your own shortcomings for years on Answerbank, aint it about time you came out of your shell?

If you need a confidence boost, just spend a day being brave - it may work wonders.

one of theee most irritating types of people, are the complete no-hoper loser idiots - who think they are hyper intelligent and utterly fabulous.

they are supremely pushy, arrogant and assertive but have absolutely nothing to back it up other than their own bluster, which is their way of covering up their inadequacies...they think if they shout it out loud enough people will believe it.

and thats the problem, assertiveness can sometimes be just hot air.
