How I did it: I realized that I am the inhabitant of my body no one else, and I can say no anytime I want because my feelings matter, and I matter as a human being. Anyone who can accept my decision is wonderful and understanding, anyone who can't should look in the mirror and realize they are the "Yes" person either LOL.

When it all comes down to it, I should have realized the freedom to say no a long time ago... I would have been much happier.

Lessons & tips: Be strong and know that no matter what the request is you have the right to say "Hey look thanks for the offer but I'm going to sit this one out." Easy as pie right? Sure it is.

Resources: No resources, just the brain in my head that decided to think for itself.
