Unsubmissive for Dummies

Hey there! Let's talk about the word "unsubmissive." Now, I know learning new words can be a bit tricky, but don't worry, I'm here to make it as simple as possible for you. So, let's break it down:

The word "unsubmissive" is made up of two parts: "un-" and "submissive." The "un-" part means "not" or "opposite of." You've probably heard words like "unhappy" or "untidy" before, right? It's similar here. So, when we say "unsubmissive," we mean someone who is not or refuses to be submissive.

Now, when we talk about being "submissive," we're talking about someone who tends to submit or yield to someone else's authority or will. They might follow what others say without questioning or standing up for themselves. So, when we say "unsubmissive," it means someone who does not easily give in to others or obey their commands without questioning or standing up for themselves.

Imagine a game of tug-of-war, where two teams try to pull a rope towards themselves. Now, imagine one team being very strong and determined, while the other team keeps letting go of the rope whenever the other side pulls harder. The team that continues holding the rope is showing their unsubmissive nature – they won't let go easily and won't simply give in to the other side's efforts.

So, in simpler terms, "unsubmissive" means a person who won't easily give in or obey someone else's authority. They have a strong will and aren't afraid to question or stand up for themselves. It's like being brave and independent, not letting others always have their way. Just remember that it's perfectly okay to be unsubmissive in certain situations, as long as we are respectful and considerate towards others in the process.

Does that make more sense now? If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
