Dear Josh:

You are welcome. I agree, assertiveness is absolutely necessary for everyone in the quest of living a better life, and it is necessary for you too. Assertiveness is a learned  set of skills (unlike aggression and passivity), and I am sure you can find books + workbooks on it in libraries and bookstores. I don’t know of online sources.

Regarding instances in your daily life where assertiveness can be practiced- I will be glad to help you with that. You can post anytime a description of a specific situation you encounter, and we can discuss how you can respond assertively to that situation.
