Why Can Fear of Conflict Cause People to Agree Too Quickly?

[Hazel]

Agreeing with someone can feel like the easiest way to end an uncomfortable conversation, especially for someone who fears conflict. But repeatedly doing this can leave important feelings unspoken. Why does fear make some people agree when they actually disagree, and how can this affect their relationships?

Yes, it has happened to me before. When I am afraid to get into it with someone, I just agree to whatever they say, even though I do not agree. I do it just to maintain peace.
