Introverts have a really hard time saying, «No.» But after spending a lifetime pretending not to be an introvert, by attending every birthday party, every bachelor or bachelorette excursion, and by being 110% available for every facet of family drama, this agreeability starts to take a toll. Wrought with guilt over denying the ones they love, introverts will usually throw themselves on the sword, sacrificing their social battery and their well-being for the sake of making an appearance. 

Behold, fellow introverted people, there’s this unique and magical word in the English language that can save you from all of that nonsense and woe. A simple, single-syllable word that has empowered introverted people for centuries: No. Rehearse it, review it, and cherish this wonderful word because it’ll get you out of many pickles in the future. It’s the ultimate, undeniable excuse in the introvert’s arsenal. Who can refute you if you simply refuse? Nobody! Feel the strength coursing through your veins at the empowering prospects of this word and keep it handy for the next time you get asked to go to an out-of-town baby shower… Then RSVP «Yes» to these introvert memes instead.
