Going along with your family’s plan to keep the peace is still your choice. Own it either way.
RESILIENCE
RESILIENCE
Agreeing quietly still counts as deciding. It feels like the absence of a choice, which is what makes it comfortable, and it also means the outcome is yours to live inside no matter who proposed it. Wanting peace is a perfectly good reason for anything. The trouble starts when you tell yourself you never had a say and then resent the people you handed it to.
If you are going along with something, say privately why: the peace is worth more to you than the alternative. If that turns out not to be true, you have found the conversation you need to have. Either way, hold it as your call.
