You can only pick 2 of 3: industrious, pushover, conflict-averse
Otherwise you’ll spend your life being manipulated
A lot of being a pushover comes from simply not having particularly strong burning desires. You’re vulnerable to being coopted by people who want more, more badly

Many claims of busyness are just cooption defense as well of course, but that’s better recognized
