Turns out RSVP ‘no’ could be your holiday season MVP!
Dodging that awkward holiday office party or your second cousin’s annual awkward karaoke bash just got scientifically backed. According to a fresh study, kindly turning down those gatherings you’d rather not grace with your presence could be the key to avoiding end-of-year exhaustion. The study also blows the whistle on a curious truth: people overestimate how much their loved ones care about an RSVP ‘yes.’ And if you’ve ever felt like the odd one out for wishing to hug your couch instead of donning the ugly sweater, take comfort in knowing you’re in good company. It looks like a whopping 75% of us are just ‘yes-ing’ our way through the season.
So my aunt won’t spiral in despair if I skip her cookie swap? Shout out to science, giving the green light to ghost the family festivities!
