I struggle with this a lot, both with my friends and at work. I don't really know how to change it either (though I'd be open to the Ryan Gosling idea!). Learning to say no is really important but it's really difficult too. I have a couple of books about assertiveness that I'm working my way through - they're really interesting and I hope I'll be able to put them into practice! The scones look amazing. We're heading into winter here in Australia and I'm sick of apples, oranges and pears already. I love this post. I struggle with this a lot, both with my friends and at work.

I myself am trying to pull back on my generosity, and ad my husband puts it, "sometimes prioritize #1" (that'd be me). I might make your strawberry scones in solidarity!!

I used to have that problem too a little. I think you might need to think before you say yes to another favor. Think why you want to say yes - to please others and make them like you or just to be nice as it is not a big deal for you to do this favor or just because you are scared to say no (because then they won't like you)? I found it helpful to think before and I even came up with the courage to ask for something nice in return when the favor was actually more than a favor and demanded a lot of effort from my part. All of this made me feel better about myself and I feel that people respect me more when I stand up for myself:) I hope this is helpful for you. Just learn to say no when you want to:) Hey.
