The intent grinds my gears. I agree you just say no

I guess, but like most low-grade anxieties, if you take the time once to think about it critically and realize “hey, this actually doesn’t matter, nobody will judge me and their opinion doesn’t impact me if they do.” The cure isn’t complaining about the thing, the cure is cutting off the internal thinking process that creates anxiety about it.
You only have to do it once, too. I pick up a pizza and don’t even notice the tip option anymore. The only time i notice is when I already know I want to tip. Otherwise it’s just a screen to clear.
