Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it Are you afraid to ask someone for a date
Many people are afraid to assert themselves, Dr. Alberti, author of Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back, thinks it’ s because their self - respect is low. "Our whole set-up is designed to make people distrust themselves, "says Alberti, "There’ s always ’ superior’ around a parent, a teacher, a boss who ’ knows better’. There superiors often gain when they chip away at your self - image."
But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves. They offer "assertiveness training" courses, AT for short. In the AT courses people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be more active without hurt
