The people who say yes too quickly are usually negotiating with a fear they’ve never named out loud
Tuesday, 21 April 2026 16:06
The fast yes is rarely cooperation. It is a nervous system closing the conversation before the conversation can hurt — and the fear driving it is almost always older than the room it is operating in.
