The Observer Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I suck at saying no D: I ALWAYS feel bad, like I'm going to hurt their feelings or something. I find that my problem too. Even when they say "don't worry you won't hurt my feelings if you say no" I still don't anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1_man_army Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I don't mind saying no at all. If I'm not keen on something or if I don't want to do something I won't do it. I would say that I'm relatively strong willed to that extent (some would just say that I'm awkward), I don't understand why people allow themselves to get coerced into doing things that they don't really want to. He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathdrow Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 People do not often ask me for anything, so I find it relatively easy to say no. However if it's my dad, I'm an immeadiate yes, because I always fear that he's found my porn. He shouts from halfway in the house - "Uhhh [my name] can you come here". At this point I get all nervous, so I say - "yeah sure dad, I'll do whatever you want" Just dont say you've found my porn.Why do you have porn? you're just apposed to use teh internets, not keep magazines and videos silly. I honestly have no idea if I can say no to things easily, I say no sometimes, sometimes I say yes, I'm totally clueless if I'm strong willed at not doing things. However if it's a pretty girl I always say yes, but that's cause pretty girls use black magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkn0wnwarrior Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I haven't had to say 'no' in ages. Except to family, but that's nothing. I used to never say no, but I started to when I got out of school. Now I can say it easily. I generally don't use the word, instead going for 'Nah, that isn't going to work out' or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Err, seems I am confused. I'll say "Yes" if I am asked to do something, generally - a favour. And I'll say "No", if I am offered something for free (Normally, that's the only time you're offered something is if it's free... :wink: ) RIP Michaelangelopolous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But surely parents should expect that from their teenage children...? As for me, sometimes I do have a hard time just saying no. I guess sometimes I go a bit out of my way to keep people happy. Other times if I feel strongly enough to say no straight up I will. I guess an example would be when work calls me and asks if I can come in and work. Instead of saying I can't be bothered, or no, I just make an a excuse, like "I have plans" or something... But I guess that's pretty standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star. Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I can't say it, I guess I'm too conscious of the other person's feelings.Thought I do find it easier to deny my sister than my brother, perhaps because I'm closer with her? I think another reason as to why I can't say no easily is because the reasoning will sound stupid to them. ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonewall337 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Not at all. I don't give a care what most people think of me, as those people's opinion of me will have no influence on my future, my career, or how I sleep at night.

aquariusman Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I will generally be helpful and friendly, but the minute I get a hint of someone trying to take advantage of me, I'll draw the line. So no, I do not have a hard time saying no. I just like to say yes :wink: There's no such thing as regret. A regret means you are unhappy with the person you are now,and if you're unhappy with the person you are, you change yourself. Thatregret will no longer be a regret, because it will help to form the new,better you. So really, a regret isn't a regret. It's experience.

warren211 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I recently discovered how bad of a bargainer I can be. I'm glad I don't go to flea markets too often. A few weeks back me and my friends went to a heavily populated Indian area of Illinois where lots of flea-market type bargaining takes place. My friend was looking for a phone there. But I found that I felt sorry for the guys he was bargaining with for phones. They sounded so convincing that they needed the sale, and that their product was of extreme quality. I know its usually bs, and that the last person you should trust for info on a product you plan to buy is the seller himself, but I still could not help but sympathize for him. Maybe he gets loads of sales like this, or maybe he really is desperate for money to support himself. But I know my lesson now: never go to flea markets, I'll probably end up losing LOADS of money rather than saving it from bargaining. [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.[/hide]Apparently a lot of people say it.

i_love_burritos Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Why do you have porn? you're just apposed to use teh internets, not keep magazines and videos silly. Oh, no lol.

Youmu Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I don't really have a hard time saying no. In fact, I can give my honest opinion without fear of anything bad happening. What annoys me though, is this one guy in my class, who keeps saying "how about no?" every time I make a point.
