161. The Real Reason Your Friends Can’t Take ‘No’ for an Answer

Hi, text me anytime 🤗

You've made a clear decision about your drinking trajectory for the night, you’re feeling comfortable and confident about it, yet some people can’t quite seem to accept “No thanks” for an answer.

It’s not about you. This is their issue… but why?

These are the five personality types you'll encounter when you start drinking differently. From the Validator to the Controller, and once you understand what each type actually needs from you, their reactions make a lot more sense. And more importantly, you'll know that you never need to compromise your choices to manage their discomfort.
