8. Add some good vibes if you still find it hard to say no
It would take time to totally shake off the habit. Instead of saying 'no' right off the bat, it might be a lot easier to lead with good vibes or sandwich the 'no' between 2 good vibes.
Leading with good vibes:
“I would love to go to the movies with you guys but I can’t tonight.”
The good vibes sandwhich
(good vibes 1) I would love to go to the party with you guys
(The 'No') but I can’t tonight (the 'No')
(Good vibes 2) I hope you guys have a fun time, it’s suppose to be a beautiful night!” (good vibes)

Everyone makes mistakes, it's how you handle them that makes the difference. Mistakes are a second chance. So, just shake it off and go back to the drawing board.
I force myself to sound confident. I go up and say hello to a few people. My voice starts out strong, but then it starts to waver. Everything I say sounds like a question. Hi? How are you? I’m good? Great party?…
