Yeah, okay. You can be assertive without being aggressive or rude. Learn how.For example, if someone asks you for help and you're too busy, just say so, but say it politely. Eye contact, friendly smile, confident voice: "Ah! No, I'm sorry, I'm rushed off my feet today! Maybe you could ask Jeff?" It's really not difficult.
