Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- The second they push back I either cave completely or harden into all-or-nothing, because I walked in without ever deciding what I could actually live with
- I got the small yes I was after but it didn’t change a thing
- I noticed I got someone to agree to something they probably wouldn’t have chosen on its own, just because they’d said yes to me earlier
- When the pressure builds in a conversation, I cave on something I actually believe in just to make the discomfort stop
- I keep losing the same argument by pushing harder, and it’s starting to dawn on me that I’ve never once tried to actually see it from their side first
