It is possible to be purely assertive and non-violent and still be perceived as aggressive by another who may feel threatened in some way. In that case, you decide what’s more important – you trying to get your needs met fairly or others liking you. If you choose to stand up for yourself, you can minimize the potential for being perceived as aggressive if you preface your request/assertion with consideration and empathy for the person you’re speaking to.
