You are eating some chicken pizza for dinner. Your brother asks if you can share some of your chicken with him because his slice did not have enough on it. How can you be assertive in this moment?

A great way to respond is: "I'm sorry, but this is my slice and I don't want to share my chicken with you. You can grab another slice for yourself, so you can have more chicken if you'd like."
