Feeling a bit of a burden

I'm not hugely old but I've bad arthritis in my feet and I don't tolerate heat at all. Today I was talked into going in to town. My first mistake, I'm quite slow because my feet hurt and I'm not just red but my hair was soaked and the sweat was running down my face. But I'm being made to feel like the biggest s**t going because I didn't want to look at clothes, I'll sit happily in the shade while others do as they wish

as they say over on MN,
no is a complete sentence.
stick to it.

The other saying I like is,

"That doesn't work for me."

This would have saved me a whole lot of grief on one particular occasion when I reluctantly went along with other people's plans, if I'd only known about it at the time 🤦
