I'm so weak at saying no.
Saying no to something is actually much more powerful than saying yes.
I think the New Bohemians' inability to say no was a big part of our problem.
I have to prioritize and learn how to sometimes say 'no,' even when there might be a good opportunity. That means turning down a check or a potential relationship, or sometimes letting someone down who you are close with.
What we say no to is sometimes more important than what we say yes to.
Because of who I am, people ask for photos. I can't just say no to everyone.
I'm not used to saying no to this man on any level.
When you arrive at a certain level it's very easy to say yes: that is the moment to learn to say no.
You learn, right, a lot of people's problems - why they get upset, why they get down, why they turn to drink - is because they can't say one word and it's N-O, no.
It never occurred to me to say no.
It's not that difficult to say no when you don't want to do something.
I have had to learn about saying no.
Question the motives of those who make requests of you. Discover what they really want. You may not want to give it.
If someone asked me to do something I didn't want to do or didn't think was right, I wouldn't do it.
If people confront me with certain questions, if they are not right, I will not answer them.
I just don't believe that 'no' is always a final answer - unless we're talking about consent.
I say 'no' a lot. And if I knew how easy it was to say no, I would have started saying it earlier.
I have a very easy time saying no to friends.
