Put in your head that you can’t please every body, this fear of saying no can usually be causing by an other fear which is ; losing that person … If this person really loves you she will respect your choice , don’t froce your self to be in a toxic relation ship, try to be yourself it will be always someone that will understand you ; a true friend or partener
