Why would I rather let people walk all over me than risk making them mad?

Long term game vs short term game
Up to you what path to take depending on the situation

It's a fight or flight thing based on trauma. You get bullied and shit on enough as a kid and you'll get this sense that you shouldn't fight, because you won't win.
I'm still not completely over it, and at 31 I doubt there's a lot of ways to get over it completely, but what I've found is that avoiding conflict is not necessarily a bad thing. What you do is build yourself into a position where the idea of trying to walk over you is daunting and unseemly in itself. "That's the only guy who gets me the thing I want. Do I really want to make him mad?"
The answer is often enough "no," if you're a developed and competent professional.
