Communication defines our interactions, and mastering it requires knowing its styles: assertive, passive, aggressive, and passive-aggressive. Here's a quick guide on each and how to improve your communication skills.
Passive communication means you're more likely to keep quiet, yield to others, and not express your true feelings or needs. It often leads to misunderstandings.
Aggressive communication is when you express yourself in a dominating and disrespectful way, often at the expense of others. It's confrontational and can lead to conflict.
Passive-aggressive communication is a mix of passive and aggressive. You might not confront issues directly but express your discontent in indirect ways. It can be confusing for others to understand your true feelings.
Assertive communication involves expressing your thoughts, feelings, and needs directly and respectfully. It's about being honest without stepping on others' toes.
To improve communication skills:
Listen Actively: Pay attention to what others are saying without planning your response while they speak.
Be Clear and Concise: Say what you mean directly.
Practice Empathy: Try to understand where others are coming from.
Use "I" Statements: Focus on your feelings rather than blaming.
Learn to Say No: Respectfully setting boundaries is key.
Seek Feedback: Ask how others perceive your communication and adjust as needed.
