sometimes quiet people can be -more- assertive. making a point quietly and seriously is very assertive.

How though? Isn't it true that quiet and sensitive people usually think negatively and often get there feelings hurt easily? They get picked on too. Whereas soemone who is not quiet and sensitive, they can assert themselves and are liked. People respect them and care for them instead of non asserters. I was reading about this. Is it true? I'm learning how to be assertive. I'm sick and tired of people trying to take advantage of me. When I think about it, it bothers me. So is any of the stuff I mentioned here true or false?

Oh. But I always though if your quiet and soft spoken, your not asertive. And if your loud and talkative, your very asertive. I don't know, thats what I thought.

yeah.
people who're loud and obnoxious are often so because they aren't secure in themselves. sometimes they feel overlooked, so they act assertive and loud.
