NO..... Have you ever been in a situation where this simple two-letter word "No" feels the most difficult thing to speak? Have you ever agreed to things that you don't want to do, just to avoid their consequences?
Yes, I think all of us have faced this situation lots of times in our life. For instant, this might seem to be not an important thing to discuss or think about. But if you look closely at it, it is.
People mostly feel it is rude to say "No", or even think that it may end up messing their relationship with people. And it's quite true.
And this is mostly seen happening when you are below some authority or in good relations with a person.
The best example of this is peer groups. We all are so attached to our peer groups that life without them for most people seems useless and to say "No" to them is the biggest challenge you will ever face.
Imagine you being in a situation where your friends decided to pull a prank on someone who is very weak and you don't want to do that yet you agree to it first because you don't want to be the one the next prank to be pulled up on and secondly that might led to you to be tagged as an uncool person.
We also tend to agree with our loved ones because we don't want to hurt them (which is very sweet of you if you ask me ) and most importantly we are afraid that our relationship with them might get messed up.
All this thing seems quite normal and harmless but it's not. When we get used to not saying no to things we don't want to do, we end up hurting ourselves. Firstly you won't be able to do that particular work with your best. And when you do something half-heartedly it won't work to be good. And when you are not able to do the work then you start getting tensed which will eventually lead to anxiety.
Apart from all of this when you get used to agreeing to everything everyone says that lead you to lose your self-esteem. You are not able to stand for your self which itself is a problem. People tend to force their works on you and you aren't able to do anything.
This little thing feels irrelevant to fight for, but when you ignore this stuff this will eventually lead you to a frustrated and unhappy self. Self-sacrificing leads you to not recognise what you want for your self. And believe me, it's very dangerous and harmful when you don't know what you deserve and with that people try to take advantage of you.
I know it's hard and some times you might even feel guilty saying no to people but believe me it will save you in future. And remember...
"It's only by saying "No" that you can concentrate on the important things."
