PSA: That awkward chat with a buddy about my prices changed how I handle friends.

I now have a simple script for friend requests (it saves so much stress).

Wait, your friend actually asked for a lower price? That's wild! I would be so thrown off if someone close to me did that. No wonder you needed a script, that situation sounds so uncomfortable. It's smart to have something ready to say so you don't freeze up. Really changes how you see doing business for people you know.

Man, I always thought that was rude but a clear script actually saves headaches.

My friend's cousin asked for a "family rate" on a huge project last year! She felt totally put on the spot and it messed up their holiday dinner, which is exactly what @thomasgonzalez means about a script saving headaches. Having a plan stops the awkwardness before it even starts.
