From the Merriam Webster Online Dictionary 1 : to state or declare positively and often forcefully or aggressively 2 a : to demonstrate the existence of - assert oneself : to compel recognition especially of one's rights There is often a fine line between "assertive" and "aggressive", and many people don't know the difference. Assertive just means that you ask for something reasonable in a positive way, without anger or threats. If you "assert" something you are making a statement of what you consider to be fact, again without anger or threat. I assert that where I am sitting, the sun is shining, it is not raining and is a delightful day. Although the dictionary states that "assert" is to declare "aggressively", "assertiveness" is generally acknowledged to be non-agressive yet without evidence of a willingness to "back down".
