All people in this world are very different, they all have a different disposition, different attitudes towards the same things, behavior, etc. There are those who know when to give up something, while others do not know how to do this, constantly agree to fulfill all requests, even to their detriment, because they are afraid of offending the person asking. However, this is wrong.
The word "no" in certain situations can and should be said, as strong and self-respecting individuals do.
First of all, it is necessary to refuse when the request to allocate time from your schedule is literally impossible or very difficult. In such cases, you cannot infringe upon yourself, it is much more correct to explain the situation and refuse to fulfill the request. An understanding person will never be offended by such a refusal, because, in principle, there is nothing offensive in it. In addition, you cannot sacrifice your vacation and family, you also need to allocate time for this.
There is no need to agree to this or that proposal when the inner voice is opposed. In such cases, overpowering yourself is absolutely wrong. Since it is likely that when such a request is fulfilled, a stressful situation will arise, which is absolutely not useful for the body.
You can also refuse those offers that do not arouse any interest in relation to themselves. A person has every right to do what he likes and this right should be fully used.
If you are tired, you can also postpone this or that work and give yourself some time to sleep and rest. Overworking yourself is wrong, because it can even lead to health problems.
Saying "yes" solely out of politeness is not logical, there is nothing terrible in refusals, especially if they are reasoned. It should be understood that by saying "no" to others, a person is thus saying "yes" to himself and to his desires.
This does not mean that you need to become an absolute egoist and refuse any requests from the outside. If the fulfillment of this or that request does not harm a person's personal time, if this does not hinder him and he does not have to give up his affairs, then the request can be fulfilled. Mutual assistance has not been canceled, but it is very stupid to constantly agree to perform various work solely because you do not want to offend anyone. This shows that a person absolutely does not respect himself and cannot make a competent decision because of his inner fears. There are even special courses in which people are taught to refuse correctly and this is really important to learn.
