One of the common misconceptions about the practice of Nonviolent Communication is that it's about being "nice." It's probably a similar misconception to that of thinking of nonviolence as passivity. I believe both misconceptions derive from our habit of either/or thinking. Most of us don't have models for a path that's neither aggressive nor passive. Within this either/or thinking, if the only two models are imposing on others or giving up on our own needs, many of us will interpret nonviolence as the latter. Read Full Article.
