Are You a Girl Who Can't Say No?
Many of us have trouble of saying "NO", and because of this we get caught up in many things like clothes, friends, relatives and men whether we need them or not. This can change if we build a little confidence and diplomacy we can get our ways out and release ourselves from certain things in life. Sometimes you got to take out time for yourself; sometimes you got to be selfish.
Say 'no' to a friend
Your friend tells you to pick something from the store when you're heading home, or asks you to prepare a presentation for work the next while she is hanging out, it might make you feel that you are doing a good deed but once you work for her she will always make you do her chores.
WHY YOU SHOULD SAY 'NO'
Your friends are getting the credit for the hard work you have done because they asked you too. They will never share their credit with you but will walk up the ladder of success using your efforts. So before you take up your friends' career errands ask yourself 'What's in it for you?'
LEARN TO SAY 'NO'
If your friends ask you to do something out of your way or something you think that is completely wrong to do, then tell her that you're busy and your schedule has got you completely stuck. If they tell you to do their assigned work then tell them that you have no experience of the work and will not be responsible for anything that can go wrong. When you're turning down an unreasonable request, imagine that you're being asked to do something bizarre, like eat live scorpions.
Say 'no' to a colleague
Whether it's a colleague looking for a job/reference letter or someone seeking membership to your club, saying 'no' becomes tough when you feel weighed down by the responsibility of the situation. But don't fall for that old trick.
WHY YOU SHOULD SAY 'NO'
In such a situation you need to realize that giving a recommendation will directly reflect on you. Your reputation is at stake and if something goes wrong, you will be blamed. Giving a recommendation indicates your faith in the other person, which, given your hesitation, you obviously lack.
LEARN TO SAY 'NO'
The easiest answer to give is that your workplace forbids you from recommending anyone for a job, loan or passport. If it's a co-worker, say something blurred about a legal complication (something property related, perhaps) that stops you from standing guarantee.
12 WAYS TO GET OUT OF DIFFICULT SITUATIONS:
1. "I'M HANDLING SEVERAL PROJECTS"
If you don't have any free time, let people know that you want to do a good job but you can't when your focus is diverted.
2. "I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THAT"
You may not be comfortable with the people involved, the type of work, the moral implications and so on.
3. "I'M NOT TAKING ON ANY NEW RESPONSIBILITIES JUST NOW"
You aren't saying that you'll never help out, just that your schedule is full or that you understand your limitations.
4. "I HAVE ANOTHER COMMITMENT"
Even if the commitment is, spending time alone or with your family.
5. "I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH THAT"
Volunteering to do work shouldn't mean learning new skills. You can offer to help out with something you already know.
6. "I NEED TO FOCUS ON MY CAREER RIGHT NOW"
This implies that you may have to give up family or social duties and focus your energies on a work-related task.
7. "NO"
Sometimes it's okay to just say no!
