Check my calendar, sit on it for a bit, and reply a few days later

Get super excited and say yes right away

Say “I’d love to!”, then check my calendar and confirm in the next few days

Leave the message to deal with later... and only realize the dinner already happened

Your coworker asks if you can cover their shift (again). You...

Agree instantly, even if you're tired

Say yes and pick up an extra one for fun

“Okay, you can borrow it; just please be careful.”

"Give me a moment and I'll let you know."

Your group chat starts planning a weekend getaway that you're not into. What do you do?

Say "no thanks" and mute the chat

Say "yes" because you don't want to disappoint anyone

Leave the message unopened for days

Say "maybe" but probably won't go

*strategically ignores the message to dodge saying 'no'*

"Hmm...Let me get back to you in an hour."

"That's exactly what I've been manifesting. I'm in."

A stranger starts chatting on a bus when you just want to nap. What do you do?

Put in your headphones and smile politely

Chat briefly, then excuse yourself

Keep chatting out of politeness

Someone double-books your evening. You...

Choose what you actually want and say no to the rest

Feel bad cancelling either one, so you'll probably try to rush between both

Say yes to both and deal with the consequences later

You order food, but it comes wrong. What's your reaction?

I'll eat and leave a review later

Eat it anyway... Might say something later

Ask nicely for what I've ordered

What sounds more like you when someone says, "We should hang out soon"?

"Sure. Text me when you mean it."

"Of course..." - and never follow up

"I'd love that! Let's find a time."

You're about to leave when your boss says: “Can you handle one more task today?” What do you reply?

Nod, then quietly don’t take it and hope it’s reassigned

“I can take this if I don't do 'this' instead.”

“Yes; shouldn't be a problem.”

“Absolutely; and I'll start now!”

You're in a store and a salesperson approaches with enthusiasm. How do you react?

Say thank you, but make it clear that I’m just browsing

Keep browsing like I didn't hear them

Feel pressured & end up buying something

A friend invites you to a morning yoga - your favorite activity - but it clashes with an important doctor appointment. What do you do?

I think about it, but eventually decide to go to the appointment

I reschedule the doctor appointment & go

I let them know later in the day...

I say "YES" right away and only then think I already had a commitment

You're picking a line at the grocery store. You go for...

The one with the friendliest vibe

You're already running late when someone stops you to chat. How do you react?

Chat quickly, but keep inching away

Start talking and forget completely about where I was going

Say a polite hello and keep walking

You walk into a party...What's your energy?

Pop in & disappear halfway through with no goodbyes

I'll help keep things organized

Either sing along or take over the playlist

Chat a bit and leave gracefully

Which song feels like your mood most days?

"Leave Before You Love Me" by Marshmello

"I'll Be There For You" by The Rembrandts

"Can't Stop The Feeling" By Justin Timberlake

“Are You Writing The Rules Of Your Life?”: These 25 Questions Will Reveal The Truth

Are you a pro at boundary-setting or boundary-bending all the time? Let’s find out…😈

This isn’t just about being polite or “nice” – it’s about whether you can actually set personal boundaries and stick to them. You’ll face 25 tricky boundary tests designed to discover who’s really running your life; if you or the ‘yes’s you can’t control.

We’re not saying you’re a saint. But hey, you can try to prove us wrong. Each scenario asks you to pick the opinion that best matches how you actually react.

For example:

👉 Your friend texts at 10 PM asking for a favor. Do you reply instantly, politely decline, or quietly hope they forget?

👉 Your coworker asks you to cover a shift (again) – do you say yes, negotiate, or disappear?

Take each question at your own pace, read it carefully, and answer honestly. Let’s see if you’re a boundary boss or just a professional at saying yes.

#1 Depends on the favour. If it's "move a body", then no. #2 - why is there no option to decline? For many of these, it very much depends on what and where, but my default answer is no.
