Ever notice how “yeah, no worries” slips out before you’ve even checked if you actually want to say yes? That little reflex usually isn’t kindness — it’s a pattern.

Ever notice how quickly you scan people’s faces after saying something? That tiny moment is your system checking one thing: “Am I still okay here?”

Ever notice how quickly your mind jumps to how someone might feel if you say no? That little calculation has been steering people’s decisions for years without them realising it.

Most people say they hate conflict. But when you watch closely, what they really hate is the feeling that shows up right before the truth comes out.
