Assertiveness Training Course 1981

Took an assertiveness training class in 1981
Did not do well
Failed it

Swiftly went from passive to agressive
during six scenarios
left bunch of people lying on the floor moaning

they could never explain the difference between assertive and agressive to me. They tried. Believe me they tried.
I stepped over them gingerly
and demanded my money back from the secretary
who cringed and flinched when she saw me coming.

I have to admit passive to aggressive is my natural go-to stance.
