Yielding
What is Yielding?
Giving way reflexively — not from generosity but from a deep-seated belief that asserting needs creates danger.

Yielding is a specific form of compliant, which itself is a type of masked. You might experience this feeling in situations where masked is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define yielding.
