People-Pleasing

The Yes You Gave Them and the No You Gave Her

For the people-pleaser who can be honest at home and still cannot risk a no with friends. The false yes is not kindness. It is fear of rejection, and the marriage keeps the bill.

The Shrimp Was Not Dead

For the person serving while furious and calling it holiness. The later complaint is the tell. Begrudging duty is not the same as love.
