An assertive person makes their point by showing you the hole in the ground;
an aggressive person puts you in the hole in the ground.

You require aggressiveness to be assertive.... the very act of asserting
yourself, places others as either your equal or your subordinate....
despite what they may have perceived. This situation is not attained by
passive compliance, nor neutral indifference.

You may indeed suggest it...... but I'd sooner you take your own
advise.

Well, may I suggest you rise above your base animal instinct and
start using the tools that were given you to negotiate and walk away
from aggression?
