Is it difficult for you to turn down a request from a friend, family member, or coworker?

Do you often say "Yes", when you really want to say "No"?

No isn’t an easy thing for people to say. No matter your reasons for saying no, the other party will probably experience it as rejection.

People-pleasers never have enough time to do all the things they have to do, because they never say “no” to a request. You want to do one thing, and your friend, neighbor, or relative expects you to do something else. You fear that your reasons for doing what you want are not “reasonable” enough.

Saying no is a valuable skill. By mastering this, you gain the power to avoid the things you don’t want to do. When you learn to say no properly, you’ll be able to avoid tension, confrontation, and hurt feelings. A life without the option to say no is not truly yours; it is one that is lived for other people.
