Passive communication can lead to feelings of powerlessness from "summary" of Comunicação assertiva by Camila Benatti,Andrea Becker
Passive communication can make us feel powerless in our interactions with others. When we engage in passive communication, we tend to avoid expressing our needs, thoughts, and feelings. We may hold back from speaking up, asserting ourselves, or setting boundaries. This lack of assertiveness can lead to a sense of powerlessness, as we allow others to dominate the conversation and make decisions for us. By not asserting ourselves, we give others the upper hand in our interactions. We may feel like we have no control over the situation or that our voice doesn't matter. This can lead to feelings of frustration, resentment, and low self-esteem. We may start to doubt our own abilities and worth, as we constantly put our needs aside in favor of others. Passive communication can also result in a lack of respect from others. When we fail to assert ourselves, we send a message that our needs are not important. This can lead to others taking advantage of us, disrespecting our boundaries, or not valuing our opinions. Over time, this can erode our self-confidence and make us feel even more powerless in our relationships. It's important to recognize the impact of passive communication on our sense of power and agency. By learning to communicate assertively, we can reclaim our voice and assert our needs in a respectful and effective way. Assertive communication allows us to express ourselves honestly, set boundaries, and stand up for what we believe in. This can help us feel empowered, respected, and in control of our interactions with others.
