Psychological keys to be more assertive without generating conflict
CONTENT
Effective interpersonal communication allows people to maintain emotional bonds under patterns of reciprocity, that is, fluid communication between people occurs when there is respect for the points of view of our peers, without giving up or hiding what we think.
Not respecting the points of view of our peers generates multiple problems in family, political, technological and even economic communication, due to the absence of the basic principles of effective communication.
When, due to some situation, there is a lack of respect or effective communication between people, a series of psychological problems arise that trigger conflictive feelings, which tend to annoy and even emotionally hurt one of the parties.
Much has been written on this delicate subject, mainly on how to create more assertive communication mechanisms without generating conflicts such as those mentioned in the previous paragraph.
Now, taking into account that communication is present in everything we do on a daily basis, from our family ties to every work situation, we will understand that effective communication is a determining factor for our healthy coexistence.
However, achieving effective communication in the search for a healthy coexistence is not easy, but there are some psychological keys to be more assertive without generating conflicts when communicating with our peers.
For experts in psychology, being assertive is a way of relating to our peers, and this way of communicating can be learned, practiced and even improved, since in this way we can avoid falling into negative behaviors.
Among the psychological keys, or better said, among the recommendations provided by experts to establish assertive communication without generating conflicts, are: expressing oneself simply, saying how we feel, paying attention actively, speaking calmly, learning to say no, and keeping calm at all times.

Very interesting article my dear @lupafilotaxia, I think that one of the keys to be able to establish assertive communication is precisely empathy, we must cultivate more and more the importance of first assessing the point of view of our interlocutor before our own, not because Our opinion does not count, but on the contrary, because we already have a point of view on a situation, it is better to see things from another "point of view" before engaging in trying to impose our ideas on other people.
Best regards my dear friend!!

Greetings @lupafilotaxia, you are very right about the recommendations you indicate to have an assertive communication since the basis of any relationship is to learn to listen to us and for this we must pay attention to what the other expresses us and know how to say no is essential to avoid being bad for the time factor.
