Don't forget "Subscribe" to @Asif_135 Do you have a hard time saying NO?
As social beings, we are driven to preserve our relationships and so it can be difficult to let people down even if it is the right thing for you.
Read the steps below to understand why it's hard to say no, and how you can learn to do it without feeling guilty...
1.plan out your 'NO's ahed of your time...
It can be difficult to tell someone no in the moment. You can struggle to say no because you fear facing people’s disappointment.So, plan in your head what would u say, if u have to say no to a person, so that your NO is accepted normally ,and no one is hurt.. U can ask people to text or email you their request so you can get back to them.
Once they send you a follow-up, it is much easier to send them a polite reply saying that you’re UNABLE to agree to their request...
2.Use the word..
Not, ‘Not at this time’, not ‘I don’t think so’, not ‘I’m not sure’, not ‘Maybe next time’. The word NO is a powerful thing. Use it if you are absolutely, unequivocally sure that there is no other answer. And don’t apologise for saying it. If need be, practise saying the word until it loses its power over you.
3.Or a firm but polite alternative..
I appreciate your time, but no thank you.
Thanks for thinking of me, but I have too much on my plate right now.
No thanks!
Not today, thanks.
Not for me, thanks.
I’m afraid I can’t.
I’m not really into [heavy metal/decoupage/Pokemon Go], but thanks for asking!
I’d rather not, thanks.
I think I’ll pass.
4. Dont 'FAKE' it..
This goes for family, friends, or even your boss. You don’t have to have an elaborately fabricated ruse – just say you don’t want to. If you don’t want to go to an event because you’ve had a rough week and you’d rather sit in bed watching Netflix – then say so. Don’t invent an ailing grandmother because you think it makes your excuse more palatable.
5.Dont go on and on.....
In some cases, it’s best not to elaborate. If you justify your ‘no’ too much, it can seem like you’re lying – or worse still, it can allow the asker to find a workaround to try and make you say yes....
