Mine is to be more assertive, be healthily selfish, and free up more time. Also, do things to expand my social circle.
I've been let down a few times this year, and 3 times in the past week! It always seem to be the same thing. Someone arranges something, people agree, then drop out and I am the last one standing.
So, for example, a group of friends decided to take up a hobby. It cost £100. They set up a Whatsapp, sent round a flyer, and asked everyone to pay the money upfront. I wasn't 100% into it, but enjoyed the company, so agreed. The answer is yes, so I am committed to - right? So after the first session, a 3rd of them dropped out. Then the others dropped for non excuses. Turns out only I paid upfront, so I had to go for the rest of the course, on my own.
Another time a friend begged me to share a personal trainer with her. I wasn't fussed, but agreed. We had a trial and both said yes to 8 sessions. Then she emailed him and said no, its not for her, so I had to go on my own as I paid on y way out.
This week 3 people let me down. Someone arranged a Christmas outing, then dropped out. Another arranged to meet me in the city. I bought the train ticket (loads cheaper in advance) and she cancelled the night before. Asked my brother if he wanted to meet up, as not seen him in 2 years and I was to be in his small town for 6 hours, and he never responded.
So, yes I need to be more assertive, make better friends, and be a bit more selfish. Obviously I let people walk all over me.
How about you?
