Compromise feels good, right? You play nice, keep the peace, avoid the fight. But here’s the truth: every time you shrink yourself to fit someone else’s box, you chip away at your self-love. You tell yourself it’s fine, but deep down, you feel it—resentment, stress, a slow leak of who you are. And others? They stop respecting you, too. They sense you’ll fold. So, what’s the cost of compromise? It’s your power, your peace, your edge.
