pushy
This term carries a strong negative connotation, describing a personality trait where ambition crosses the line into intrusiveness. It suggests a lack of social awareness or a disregard for others' boundaries, often evoking a feeling of irritation or pressure in the listener.
While "assertive" is generally viewed as a positive professional skill, "pushy" implies an overbearing quality that is socially off-putting. It is typically used in interpersonal contexts, such as describing a salesperson who will not take no for an answer or a peer who aggressively steers a conversation toward their own agenda.
