All of us have a style of communication that reflects our own personality and self-concept.Achievement of the nurse's goals at the expense of others shows an aggressive behavior.Indirect expression of one's feelings describes passive behavior.Being able to communicate one's own needs describes an assertive behavior.Restricting one's own rights does not describe an assertive style of communication.Aggression is not an indirect expression of one's feelings but a very direct expression.Aggressive communication is angry and dominating where the person attempts to humiliate or "put down" other people.
