Ok so I have a problem I can't say no to people, idk what to do to change it, my boss called me up to work and I can never say no and I really don't feel like working but I can't say no.... what should i do?
Simply say 'no' when you have to. You don't have to sound rude, say it nicely.
I know how you feel. Im the same way. I think it goes back to when I was a kid. Whenever my sister asked me to do something and I didn't want to do it, she would hit me, or break something of mine, or ruin something by writing on it. So now I'm afraid to say no. I always want to be the nice person.
I have issues with saying no even when I'd like to scream it. People always ask me to do all kinds of stuff for them and I can never say no. I run myself ragged and one of these days I'm just gonna snap. I guess I should start saying no sometimes. Its not so much that I'm trying to please everyone, its just I feel a little guilty if they need me to do something that they can't do, how can I say no? But. Really can't tke it anymorei
It depends on you though. Like, I find it hard to say no sometimes, so I often say yes, but even then, I don't have a preference when I do. If it makes you feel any better about it, maybe give reasons why you want to say no like, "I'm busy with (this)." Like a lot of people, including myself, you fear not being liked because you say "no." But I think that if you feel strongly enough about something, just say no.
Say No. Ha :) No but seriously, I think it comes down to being honest about how you feel & not trying to please everyone else. Its ok to want to make people you care about happy, but its another to be a "push over." Stand up for yourself/feelings otherwise people will take advantage of you, and dont YOU want to be happy also? People will also respect you more.
