> When someone has taught you something or changed your mind on something, let them know.
Pro tip-- you can change your mind in a conversation at any time!
I hear stories from so many people who feel like they got stuck agreeing to meet up with someone. Or perhaps they felt obligated to follow some course of action just because they initially misspoke, and now the person would think such-and-such, which would reflect poorly on them, etc., so they just grin and bear it.
At least in the U.S., normies will be totally fine if you change your mind and immediately tell them you don't want to do (or cannot do) such-and-such a thing in casual, polite conversation. The only people who will be weirdos about you showing basic human agency are narcissists. And if you have never experienced telling a narcissist no, I would strongly recommend starting as soon as possible because it's simply divine. :)
