    Reading this made me realize how rarely I say the word no. I’ll disagree with people, but I tend to phrase it differently.

    I would say something like: “Wednesday is tough for me, can we do another day?” I should say no more often, I don’t need to justify shit

      Please stop attacking me, omg! ;)

      Saying no is incredibly difficult for me if I think I care about the other person or will have to interact with them again. I’m sure there are plenty of us here who were never allowed to say ‘no’ as a kid or young adult.
