Do you find it hard to say no? What kind of situation have you faced by saying yes when you wanted to say no? Is it possible to say no without hurting anyone’s feelings? Ajay replied. No, I do not find it difficult to say no. I can never compromise time set aside for myself. Whenever people ask me fort certain favors, I tell them firmly that I really do not have time to help them out. I do not care how they feel, even if they are friends. if they are my true friends they will understand why I am saying no to them. If I have time and I can help them in what they are asking, I will go ahead and help them. I strictly avoid lending, books, money and my other important possessions to anyone. Few years back I helped my friend in some difficult situation. But when everything got well with him, he started neglecting me. Experiences teach us a lot. Dinesh replied. Yes, for me and for everyone it is hard to say no. not only to friends but also to parents, relatives, classmates, and even not so known people. But I have discovered a few tricks. With the help of these tricks I have learnt to give reasons to people who turn to me for some help. If I can then I would surely like to help them. But most of the time what people demand does not go with your other priorities. But sometimes even when I have time then also I do not help some people. Like guys who do not finish their projects by deadlines and then turn to their friends for help. I would like to help those who are genuinely have some difficulty. Shamit replied. I always feel that if someone comes to me for help it is my duty to help them. I feel very awkward to turn down my friends. I can not say no to them. But that does not mean I will say yes to things such as smoking and drinking. But I can not deny things like lending money to my friends and many such things. Last month I gave my book to a friend. It was a copy of my favorite novel. My friend borrowed it with a promise to return soon. But a week later when I asked him about my book, he told me that he lost my book. While giving him my book I thought of saying no, but I could not. Now onwards I will try to say no. your article is good read and a nice tutorial.
