NO IS A FULL SENTENCE

We’ve been raised to be polite. To say yes with a smile, even when it hurts. To explain ourselves, cushion our refusals, soften our “no” with “maybe next time” or “I’m so sorry, I really wish I could.” Especially if you’re a woman or a person socialized to be a people-pleaser, saying “no” feels like committing social crime. But here’s the truth we all need tattooed on our hearts – “No” is a full sentence.
