Iris Young (he/they/she) (PhD) on Nostr: I need strategies for escaping conversations that I have run out of energy for. Today ...
I need strategies for escaping conversations that I have run out of energy for. Today I was haggling with a buyer who kept trying to get a better deal on my belongings and I had already said no that's my best offer a bunch of times. How do I say "you clearly don't want my things at my prices so please go away".... semi-politely? I'm good at "no" but apparently not at "go away."
"you've tied my hands..." nope you can walk away
"I'm trying to do you a favor..." yep and I'm declining
"I'm not sure I'll even use..." that's a you problem
"I made an offer, what's your counteroffer?" you already heard it
where is ctrl-C on the whole interaction?
