A simple no is enough, and if they press it, just say you have other plans. Who cares if those plans are to chill in front of the TV in your sweats while you eat ice cream and popcorn for supper? The point is, this is one time when you don't need to apologize!

And there's no shame in going to something more classy alone, such as a wedding or a dinner party. Who says you need a date to have a good time?

So why should you apologize for being honest! And even if she doesn't ask, what are friends for except to give each other advice and look out for one another's well being? So don't apologize for gently pointing out that your friend deserves better!

Not that your friends don't work hard, but if they want better for themselves, they can go after it. You deserve that paycheck, don't feel bad about it!

For really important stuff, there's this super cool cell phone feature that actually allows people to place a call! So if it's an emergency or something important, your friends and family can call. Don't feel as though you should apologize if you don't text back after 5 minutes!

And do you really need to be friends with that boy from kindergarten or your co-worker's daughter's boyfriend? Some people have better things to do with their time than weed through a bunch of facebook gossip and chatter, and you are one of those people! So when you delete friends from facebook, it's one of those times you don't need to apologize!

Photo Credit: kjelljoran Let's say you and a friend go shopping. If her purchases cost more than yours, you wouldn't offer to split the bill, would you? Of course not! And that should be the same concept when you go out to eat with friends. If one of you has the bright idea to put it all on one bill, that's perfectly fine, but at the end of the meal, you shouldn't need to apologize when you only want to pay for your salad and diet coke. Especially when your friends all ordered stuffed crab and martinis!
