how do i start handling hearing 'no' in my friendships?
my friends are constantly busy and have zero time to hang out, I feel like I constantly ask them to run errands with me, plan days out with me, schedule a call, or to even slip in a 30-minute hangout on my lunch break. It's always no every time I ask and I can't help but get tired of hearing it over and over. It's made me step back from my friendships because I literally couldn't force myself to ask knowing the answer would be no, and now I feel like my connections aren't as strong as they used to be. How do I learn to hear no from them? We're all adults and busy so I understand that it's no slight against me.
