Your Type
You don't say no, but you also don't say yes — you let the situation dissolve. Change the subject, 'let me think about it,' and then 'we'll get to it later' never comes. You're not doing it on purpose; you're just genuinely uncomfortable facing that conversation. The cost of dodging: the other person never knows where your limits are.
💡 Did you know?
Psychological research shows that using topic deflection or avoidance to handle uncomfortable situations is a 'cognitive avoidance' strategy that reduces anxiety by 40% short-term, but long-term use reinforces the avoidance pattern, making it progressively harder to face similar situations directly.
