For a person who steers away from confrontations and tough conversations, these are words to live by: "Believe that whoever you're dealing with is not locked in an adversarial relationship, and that both of you can win. Believe that the market can expand. Believe that all of society can grow"! Thanks, Satyajit for this insightful post!

This is often misused. Pushover does not want it always. It probably is not able to handle it and the fear causes no action.
