Saying NO Politely

Even though “NO” is merely a two-letter word, does saying no seem difficult or look like a heavy job to you? Saying no can feel awkward and you might get hesitant to do so.

However, saying “Yes!” to everything and everyone can negatively impact you. Therefore, in reality, you must find the balance between saying yes and saying no to people and situations.
Here, you can learn the art of saying no when you must, without having to justify yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why do people hesitate to say ‘NO’?
We will help you determine the root cause of your hesitation to say no. You may be scared of conflict or don’t want to hurt someone, or there may be some root cause for this. In this program, we will find out what your reasons are.
2. Why do I feel guilty if I say no to someone?
Whenever you say no, you may feel guilty about it because you believe that you’re behaving selfishly or hurting someone’s feelings.
3. Does saying ‘no’ have anything to do with childhood?
Yes, In many cases, this stems from a childhood where we didn’t feel we could simply be ourselves and get love. Somehow, despite our parent’s best intentions, instilled in us the notion that we had to achieve in order to earn their love.
4. Are there any long-term effects of not being able to say no?
Unfortunately, there can be serious consequences that can cause relationships and friendships to suffer, getting stressed, feeling depressed, lack of self-esteem or not having a sense of self, feeling burned out, etc.
