I keep saying yes when I want to say no
I keep agreeing to things I don't want to do. Someone asks and before I even think about it I've said yes. Then I spend days dreading it, feeling resentful, and being annoyed at myself for not just saying no. I don't understand why I can't just set a boundary.

It sounds exhausting to find yourself agreeing to things almost automatically, only to be left with days of dread and self-annoyance. It must feel frustrating to see this happening repeatedly without a clear reason why you can't just say no.
