What's the difference between being a bitch and being assertive?
<|assistant|>
The main difference between being a bitch and being assertive is the intent behind the behaviour. Being assertive is all about expressing one's feelings, opinions, boundaries and needs with an aim of reaching a mutually beneficial resolution. It involves an exchange of opinions respectfully and without the intent to offend or demean. Being a bitch is a derogatory term and usually means speaking in a nasty, unkind, or condescending manner for the sole purpose of bringing someone down or showing power over them.
