Diplomacy.
My dear friend JianBo would ‘kindly’ put lots of food onto my plate. Try this. Have some of this. Have some more. Eat more. Eat more.
We would go to quite a few meals together and time after time she would use her chopsticks to load my plate with things I didn’t want or didn’t want as much of.
What is the diplomacy trick here?
Do onto others what they do onto you.
Each time she put something on my plate I would express excessive gratitude and then return the favour. I would put something or three on her plate.
I am sure you can imagine that the kindly putting things on my plate ceased. A diplomatic solution.
The ignorance paradox teaches you lots of useful things like this which will help quite a bit.
