Non-assertive (Submissive) communication style
This style or behavior happens when persons: Fail to stand up for their rights
Do things in a manner that others can easily disregard
Express opinions, feelings etc in an apologetic and cautious manner
Fail to express own opinions, feelings etc altogether
A person becomes submissive when he sees that his own needs and wants are less important than others. The person tends to justify or explain while accommodating others‟ viewpoint.
In the event of a conflict, a person with submissive communication style can easily defuse the situation by avoiding taking a strong stand. It helps people to escape anxiety or confrontation. He avoids feeling guilty about letting someone down etc. Usually work suffers because aggressive viewpoint, not necessarily the best option, prevails.
