“Anger is an emotion, although it can frighten us when our bodies prepare to fight or flee. Aggressiveness refers to action, sometimes taken as a result of anger, sometimes not. Aggression does not mean you will batter family members; it means you know what you want, say so with respect for others and go after it.   Assertiveness and self-expression may, at various times, work for or against you, but an automatic response to please others without regard to yourself, too much selflessness, and lack of self-expression have never provided women with a guarantee of living happily ever after.” - Linda Edelstein Photo Credit: Flickr/Itani #Fury #GoodGirlGoneBallistic
