4Cross Love Letter #31 Souths Love Peace

Why Souths Struggle to Say “No”

Dear 4Cross Love Birds,

Souths want peace, not conflict. But in trying to keep harmony, they often sacrifice their boundaries.

The truth? Saying “yes” when you mean “no” doesn’t keep the peace—it creates quiet resentment.

Souths: your love is your superpower, but it’s not your job to absorb everyone’s chaos. Start small. Say “no” once this week. You’ll survive—and so will they.
