Hi friend, You're probably familiar with this feeling: You've made plans. You said "I'll be there," but then that I-do-want-to-go feeling hits. Maybe the work week was more draining than you expected, or your mental health is at a low point. And now you have a decision to make: to go or to stay. But I want to remind you that the decision doesn't have to be black or white. Because you're a complicated human. It's normal to be tired and still want to see your friends.

Hi friend, Is your first reaction when someone tells you something, "Yeah. They're probably right." Do you go along with what other people say?
