Communication Styles.

Communication styles vary widely, but they generally fall into categories like assertive, passive, aggressive, and passive-aggressive. Assertive communication is clear, honest, and respectful, expressing one's needs without infringing on others. Passive communication avoids conflict, often leading to unmet needs. Aggressive communication is forceful and disregards others' feelings. Passive-aggressive communication indirectly expresses discontent. Effective communication often involves being assertive while considering others' perspectives.
