assertive rights

Assertive rights are the fundamental entitlements everyone has, allowing them to express their needs, feelings, and boundaries openly and respectfully. They mean you have the right to say “no” without feeling guilty, to ask for what you want, to be heard, and to stand up for yourself without being aggressive or passive. Recognizing these rights helps promote healthy communication and mutual respect, ensuring your needs are considered while respecting others’. Essentially, assertive rights support balancing self-respect with respecting others, fostering honest, clear interactions.
