9 times out of ten its because of fear, not just the fear of the other persons reaction but the fear of hurting someone's feelings. This is not good at all because it leaves the person who is being hurt or affected by something to suppress their own feelings to avoid causing tension to or with someone else. You see this a lot on jobs because a person may fear losing their job if they were to voice their concerns and sometimes NOT voicing your concerns causes other's to take advantage of you because they feel you WON'T do anything because they know you are scared. In the end it's always best to learn to be assertive without being aggressive, which is hard to do if the situation has snowballed and resentments have built up over time
