Dishonest Conflict Avoidance
Many people routinely say "yes" to things and don't follow through, rather than say "no". This really sucks.

Yes.
I do that too..
Saying "yes" is a lie that is conventionally accepted..
Saying no is important.
These things are new concepts to me. I like them a lot.
I had also liked the concept of "exposing my understanding to criticism"
earlier I used to be okay with giving a sermon to my family/people and them saying yes and I believing that they will follow through.
