@project_shadow_us: Are you the person who always says ‘yes,’ avoiding conflict and assuming the best in others? Many of us are inherently agreeable people, driven by compassion and caring nature. As the renowned psychologist Jordan Peterson highlights, these qualities are both a blessing and a curse. We’re peacekeepers, capable of diffusing tense situations and ensuring everyone feels comfortable. But Peterson alerts us to the potential pitfalls of being too agreeable. Our natural instinct to avoid conflict can lead us into problematic situations, making it hard to say ‘no’ when it’s essential. We often forget that saying ‘no’ is not about being mean; it’s about setting boundaries, letting others know that certain actions are unacceptable. The real meaning of ‘no,’ as Peterson explains, is this: if someone continues with a particular behavior, it will undoubtedly lead to an undesirable outcome for them. It’s not about threatening or causing harm, but setting the right expectations. It’s imperative for us to develop the aspect of our character that can bite back when bitten, as Peterson puts it. We must strive to defend ourselves adequately, not excessively, but certainly not insufficiently. The key here is balance. Let’s remember to be caring and agreeable, but not at the cost of our well-being.
