關係中的討好者！ (People Pleasers in Relationships)
- We know what we need to do, in theory, to give our companion a repeated taste of the acceptability of their true flavour in music, pasta, friendship or existence. The problem is that we tend to get so upset when we stumble on examples of incongruent behaviour that we do precisely the opposite. We lose our tempers at their subterfuges and thereby enforce their very worst fears, that honesty never pays, that they must just lie better next time. Humour may have to be the answer. As early as we can, we need to give them a toy chameleon as a gift and send the animals as emojis with a question mark whenever they outline their wishes for the weekend or show deep enthusiasm for our career plans. We have to show that a clash in views need not be a catastrophe, that when there is genuine love, of the kind there never was at their origins, differences can be survivable, that in a functioning relationship, an argument is always better than a lie.
從理論上講，我們知道該怎麼做，才能讓我們的同伴反覆品嚐他們在音樂、麵食、友誼或生存方面的真實味道。問題是，當我們偶然發現不協調行為的例子時，我們往往會非常生氣，結果恰恰相反。我們對他們的偽裝失去了耐心，從而強化了他們最擔心的事情：誠實永遠不會有好結果，他們下次必須撒更好的謊。幽默也許就是答案。我們需要儘早給他們一個玩具變色龍作為禮物，每當他們提出週末的願望或對我們的職業規劃表現出極大的熱情時，我們就把這些動物作為帶問號的表情符號發送給他們。我們要讓他們知道，觀點衝突不一定是一場災難，只要有真愛，只要有他們
