Overview
If a headstrong friend wants you to get involved in something that you have serious doubts about, just say no -- and don't back down. Make it clear that you're not going to change your mind. The good news is that your friend will eventually respect your decision, and won't push you once she or he understands where you're coming from. This is yet another example of how lucky you are to have these wonderful people in your life. Plan a dinner party or an outing with your friends soon.
