When Asking Becomes Pressure

Asking once is normal. One follow-up question isn't automatically a problem.

Pressure is when someone keeps working on your answer after you've given it. It can sound like:

  • asking until you're worn out
  • "You have to decide right now."
  • "After everything I did for you…"
  • "It's not a big deal. Everyone does it."
  • "If you cared, you would."

Pressure can be quiet, joking or sweet. It doesn't have to be loud to count.
