is this being assertive?

Respect yourself enough to stand up for yourself; your feelings, concerns, and opinions and ask for what you want. Also, learn how to say “no” without feeling guilty

Our workbook says: "Not being assertive is the cause of anger, depression and anxiety" Use this formula: When you...(describe the behavior) I feel.....(describe your feeling in one or two words) because.....(describe how affects you) another book that I am reading says that assertive behavior is describing the facts, the way you feel and explaining in wich way affects you. That way preserves the other person respect and the respect toward yourself....
Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!
