How to Say No
Having boundaries doesn’t make you stubborn, mean, or selfish. Saying no is an articulate and valid way of expressing what you want. Establishing boundaries doesn’t always mean actually saying the word no. Here are some options for saying no:
“My friend is having a birthday party. Want to come?”
“Thanks for the invite! I don’t feel like going out. I’m feeling low energy, and I don’t feel like meeting a whole bunch of new people.”
“Will you go to prom with me?”
“That’s really nice of you to ask. That makes me feel good. But I don’t want to go with you. It feels too date-y, and I’m not into that.”
“Do you want a beer?”
“Oh, no thanks, I’m going to stick to water tonight.”
“Why are you spending your time with your friends instead of me? I’m your girlfriend, and you should always want to hang out just with me!”
“I really love spending time with you. It’s important for me to have my own time too. My friends are a big part of who I am, and I want to spend time with them too.”
“Do you see us ever becoming more than friends?”
“I think you’re great. But I’m not attracted to you, so I don’t want to date you.”
“Honey, you would look so much prettier in a dress.”
“Mom, I feel that I look good this way. Wearing pants makes me feel more comfortable and confident. This is what I’m going to wear.”
“You don’t want to have sex with me because you don’t love me.”
“That’s not true. I love you, but I feel differently about sex than you do. I’m not ready to have sex. I want to move more slowly.”
