Communication Styles

Communication styles refer to the ways people convey and receive information, which can influence how effectively they connect with others. Common styles include assertive (confident and clear), passive (avoiding confrontation, often indirect), aggressive (forceful and sometimes confrontational), and passive-aggressive (indirectly expressing negative feelings). Understanding these styles helps improve interactions by recognizing others’ tendencies, adjusting your approach, and promoting better understanding and cooperation. Developing awareness of different communication styles can lead to more constructive conversations and stronger relationships, whether in personal or professional settings.
