WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“I'm backing off because I have to, but I refuse to look weak in front of you.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Mianzi (Face Maintenance in Retreat)

In public conflicts, backing down directly is considered humiliating, so speakers often frame their retreat as personal generosity rather than surrender.
