Generosity Is Strength, Not Weakness
So many people see generosity as weakness, and sometimes without even being aware of it.
Is giving someone a second chance a sign of weakness?
Is it weakness to seek to understand someone’s feelings when they’re upset instead of fighting back?
And in the therapy world that perspective has a name: aggression, or more specifically an aggressive communication style.
There are three styles of communication: aggressive, passive, and assertive.
Generosity is actually part of the assertive communication style, along with seeking to understand the feelings and needs of others as well as clear boundary setting (which is another way to say assertion of your needs).
If the goal is to get to a balanced, assertive communication style - what’s the most valuable skill you’ve learned to get there?
