I Learned to Say No Without Feeling Like a Jerk

Ever feel like turning down a friend is harder than surviving a Monday without coffee? Trust me, I’ve been there. My friend Sarah is the queen of spontaneous road trips, but sometimes my idea of adventure is just binge-watching shows in my pajamas. I used to say yes to every invite, then wonder why I was so wiped out and cranky. Now, I just tell Sarah, "Hey, I need a chill weekend to myself. Let’s catch up next time." If she tries to guilt-trip me, I just laugh it off and stick to my plan—no drama. Real friends get it: sometimes your bed is more inviting than a highway. Saying no isn’t selfish; it’s just self-care in disguise. And honestly, that’s the kind of friend I want to be. 😅🛋️ #FriendshipBoundaries #SelfCare #HonestFriendship
