  Passive Communication Style

  You walk on egg shells to avoid upsetting others, you are your worst critic, and you tend to sacrifice your own needs to assist others in getting their needs met. While being selfless is a great quality, it can also place you in a position of being taken advantage of and walked over. Remember that your needs are just as important as the needs of someone else!
• 2.
  Aggressive Communication Style

  You tend to place your feelings above others, be critical of others, and belittle others with your tone and harsh words. Remember to uplift others and try to rephrase what you have to say before speaking so that it doesn’t come out in a hurtful way.
• 3.
  Passive-Aggressive Communication Style

  When you are upset you try to disguise it by throwing out little insults and by being sarcastic and passing off your true feelings as a joke. You push people's buttons looking for a response and try to stall confrontation as much as possible. Work on letting go of your sarcasm and indirect approach. Become more assertive and less passive-aggressive.
