"i" statements- assertiveness

Assertiveness is a skill regularly referred to in social and communication skills training. Being assertive means being able to stand up for your own or other people's rights in a calm and positive way, without being either aggressive, or passively accepting 'wrong'.

One of the main benefits of being assertive is that it can help you to become more self-confident, as you gain a better understanding of who you are and the value that you offer.

Structure:

" I feel____ when you ____ because____"

An "I" statement is a style of communication that focuses on the feelings or beliefs of the speaker rather than thoughts or characteristics that the speaker attributes to the listener.

"I" statements can help foster positive communication in relationships and may help them become stronger, as sharing feelings and thoughts in an honest and open manner can help people grow closer on an emotional level.
