      \n
    1. Puts others’ needs and wants ahead of self<\/strong>: Passive communicators often prioritize others’ needs at the expense of their own. This behavior stems from a desire to maintain harmony and avoid upsetting others, even if it leads to personal dissatisfaction or neglect.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Avoids conflicts<\/strong>: A hallmark of passive communication is the avoidance of conflict. Passive communicators often suppress their own opinions or feelings to prevent confrontation. While this may preserve short-term peace, it can lead to frustration and resentment over time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Difficult time saying ‘no’<\/strong>: Passive communicators struggle to assert boundaries or decline requests, fearing rejection or disapproval. This tendency often results in overcommitment, stress, and feelings of being undervalued.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Incorrect Options:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Uses “I” or “me” statements<\/strong>: This is a feature of assertive communication, not passive communication. Assertive communicators confidently express their own needs and feelings using “I” statements to take ownership of their emotions without blaming others.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Intimidating<\/strong>: Intimidation is a characteristic of aggressive communication, not passive communication. Aggressive communicators prioritize their own needs over others, often using forceful or manipulative tactics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Conclusion:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Encouraging open, assertive communication helps build trust, reduce misunderstandings, and foster a positive work environment where all team members feel valued and heard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
