The article emphasizes the importance of assertive communication in fostering and healing relationships. It points out that the root cause of most conflicts (90%) often stems from miscommunication, primarily due to tone rather than differing opinions (10%). Different communication styles, including aggressive and passive styles, can hinder relationship growth. Aggressive communication often leads to defensiveness, while passive communication fails to express genuine feelings. In contrast, assertive communication is respectful and honest, making it a vital tool for creating healthy interpersonal dynamics and ensuring emotional well-being in relationships.
About 10% of conflicts are due to differences of opinion, while 90% are due to wrong tone of voice.
Practicing assertive communication improves existing relationships, provided there is goodwill on both sides.
Assertive communication is honest, respectful, and non-violating.
Aggressive communication isn't usually well-received and tends to promote a defensive stance from the other person, which affects how your message is heard.
