Feelings & Togetherness
May I change my mind?
Puschel thinks again. A new insight may change his mind.
The short answer
You may change your mind after learning something new or feeling differently. Let others know about shared plans when possible. You may withdraw agreement to optional activities or touch.
An imagined Wusel scene
Puschel and Flauschi investigate
Puschel first wants to join a game. Then he realises he would rather watch today and tells the group. Flauschi helps rearrange the roles. He does not have to join just because he said yes earlier.

Think about it, if you like
You can use the fictional situation; you do not have to share personal experiences.
What could you say if you no longer want to join an optional game?
One possible idea
For example: I changed my mind and will watch today. You do not have to find a perfect explanation.

Understand step by step
What does this mean in everyday life?
Examples are possible situations. You need not feel a particular emotion or share a personal story.
New information changes a plan
You chose a game and discover it feels uncomfortable. Your earlier choice need not remain unchanged.
Telling others helps
Share a change in joint leisure plans so others can reconsider. Personal boundaries need no perfect justification.
Permission can be withdrawn
Current wishes matter for touch or voluntary participation. An earlier yes permits no ignoring a later no.
