I'm not a pushover but I often find myself trying to keep the peace or avoid social discomfort at the expense of my interests. I usually convince myself I'm actually looking out for my long-run interests by keeping relations positive. While this is definitely true in some cases, it's often just hamstering.
I'm wondering whether you guys have any advice on how to lower Agreeableness. I'm thinking tips, drills, mindset, etc. It seems to me that agreeableness is not an immutable characteristic and can be altered with conscious effort. Thanks.
