The Hardest Word
I used to struggle with this so much and to be honest I still do.
Learning to say the word No!
It takes practice and you feel better after learning to say it.
Stop trying to please someone or think someone will like you less if you don’t comply with their wishes. You are a person too and you are perfectly right and able to say the words no mofo. I don’t want to do this.
Try it and you’ll feel better and happier.
Psychologically, it’s accepting you’re good enough, don’t have any imposter syndromes and you deserve to be in that room and don’t need to be subservient to the others around.
Next time some suggestions or asked something of you and you don’t want to do whatever it is. Just say NO!
