Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.
Being an adult is the ability to say no without feeling guilty. Not our yes for everything even at our own peril.
But I wish I had known this earlier, that saying No doesn’t make me less of a person. I always had this thought in my head, what will people say, how will they feel, or if I say no, they will despise me… Bla bla blah..
Kindness is a virtue, and it is good to be nice to people, but don’t disgruntle yourself to please others.
Saying something like “I would have loved to accompany you, assist you, fix it for you, etc., but I’m so sorry I can’t at the moment, does not make you a bad person…
What’s your opinion? What lesson do you wish you had learned earlier?

This is a great post. You definitely don’t want to get to the point where people are taking advantage of you and think differently of you.
No, definitely is good to say if there is any risk to you. But now that I am older, I wish I had said yes when it came to new adventures and doing new things (without risks, of course).
Yes, of course, I will be the first to say yes to any life-changing opportunity and adventure as you said. What I mean is no when it’s detrimental to you
