It's very often based on someone being afraid to ask for what they need, in a form that is concrete enough for the other person to understand. In other words, it's a way of making a relationship work because there are all sorts of hidden assumptions being made that are basically not expressed, which leads to mistrust, unhappiness, and in the worst cases conflict or breakups. Here's an analogy: You can feel very angry with someone because they are allowing you to do things that you don't really want to do for them, and it can make you feel worse about yourself. If instead you could clearly explain to them why you don't want to do those things, you could stop feeling the need to do them, and the other person wouldn't have to make assumptions, or be hurt, or feel like you're making a personal attack on them.", "role": "assistant" } ]
