How to Say No

Description:

No means No. But also: Who learns to even say No? How can we learn it as adults if we were taught all our life to people-please? How can you deal with guilt and shame around saying No? This zine was inspired by an Instagram Q&A - the stories turned into several pages of notes and eventually into a 48 pages zine/workbook. **“Saying no is so hard!! Learning to say no can feel messy. But you are so capable of doing this”** In this illustrated zine, artist Louie Läuger takes you through their process of saying no to friends, in activism, on dates, and other situations: - checking in with yourself - compromises, explanations and vulnerability - the act of saying no - how to do "no aftercare" Along with many helpful suggestions and encouraging insights, they left lots of space for you to add your own ideas and notes so you can practice saying no!
