Dealing with Difficult Emotions
Shyness and anger are two emotions that can be difficult to manage in some
situations. Let us learn about them and how we can manage them to be able to be
more effective in dealing with others.

person(s).
If Geneva calls the girls names or threatens them, she may feel strong for a
moment, but there is no guarantee she will get the girls to leave. More
importantly, the girls and their friend may also respond aggressively, through
a verbal or physical attack on Geneva.
An aggressive response is never in your best interest, because it almost
always leads to increased conflict
Assertive response: Behaving assertively means asking for what you want or
saying how you feel in an honest and respectful way that does not infringe on
another person's rights or put the individual down.
If Geneva tells the girls they need to go to the end of the line because other
people have been waiting, she will not put the girls down, but merely state the

facts of the situation. She can feel proud for standing up for her rights. At the
same time, she will probably be supported in her statement by other people in
the line. While there is a good chance the girls will feel embarrassed and
move, there is also the chance that they will ignore Geneva and her needs
will not be met.
An assertive response is almost always in your best interest, since it is your
best chance of getting what you want without offending the other person(s).
At times, however, being assertive can be inappropriate. If tempers are high,
if people have been using alcohol or other drugs, if people have weapons or if
you are in an unsafe place, being assertive may not be the safest choice.
