Why do I say yes to things when I want to say no?
Get a grip, CJ. You're thirty-five years old. It's way past time to cut out this crap. Thirty-five years of doing what OTHER people want you to, and what does it get you? That's right. So stop already.
(Some day, this will be called a handicap, and parents who raise children to do this will be labeled abusers. Improvement?)

This works beautifully if everyone's playing by the same rules. If not, though, this ruleset places its owner at a strong disadvantage compared to those not similarly encumbered.
Sorta like many other things that have come and gone in the name of 'politeness', I guess. Or, heck, even honesty and ethics and such. As long as the behavior is commonplace, the person not following the rules is "the bad guy" and has a social disadvantage. But only as long as it's very common. Otherwise, following it is a handicap... sometimes a big one.
The obvious thing to do is ditch the handicap. Wish it were a little easier to edit my brain.
