Hi Sarah,

I’m  new here, just wanted to say that I hope you find resolution to your issues with your friends. I’m probably it the best person to advise as I am renowned for not being able to say ‘no’ and have worried excessively about what other people think of me! I can empathise with your dilemmas though.

I think if you take a step back and think about your friends behaviour as though it was happening to someone else – like think of someone  you really care about – and how you would feel seeing them being treated that way.. So if you wouldn’t like someone you care about being treated that way then why accept it for yourself.. Care for yourself is I think is what I’m trying to say! (Like I said I’m new, apologies!) :/
