Assertiveness is considered to be the ideal style of communicating. It is about giving equal importance to and being able to finely balance between the goals and the relationships. It involves being able to say NO effectively, being able to express thoughts, feeling, opinions freely. Assertiveness is also about asking for help or apologizing without feeling belittled. In short it is about respect toward self as well as others.

Aggressiveness is giving more importance to your goals than to your relationships. At times lack of respect for others, their thoughts, feelings, opinions, values etc. It can also be seen nonverbal behaviours. Aggressiveness is expressed either directly or passively. Passive aggression includes gossiping, taunting, cracking a mean joke etc.

Submissiveness is giving more importance to one's relationship with others at the cost of one's goals. Difficulty saying NO, letting the other make a decision not being able to make a request are typical observations with Submissive behaviour.
