Conflict avoidance

Be nice. Suck it up. Avoid all conflict. That is always the easiest option.

At least, that's the way it has been for me all this while. It's always seemed so much easier to let everyone else be happy and accept everything.

But no, the easiest option is often not the best, and no, there are sometimes things I just can't accept, some standards I feel I cannot compromise on. Sometimes they are big issues, sometimes small, sometimes with friends, sometimes mere acquaintances.

Recently I've just been unable to compromise.
