How To Say No To Others ?

Yusra
Learning to say no to others has been a liberating experience! I've realized that saying no to others means saying yes to myself. I prioritize my own needs and boundaries, and communicate them assertively yet respectfully. I use phrases like "I appreciate the ask, but I need to decline" or "I'm not able to commit to that right now." By setting healthy limits, I've reduced feelings of resentment and overwhelm, and created space for more meaningful connections and pursuits. It's empowering to honor my own needs and desires!

How To Say No To Others ?
 
Saying no to people is an art. It is something I struggle with, which is why some have taken advantage of me. In life, we must reject the things that we dislike and not accept everything that other people say. It's always wiser to say no once rather than keep doing the activities we find uncomfortable.
It will be nice if you can learn to say no to people from now on. Most of them will not appreciate the fact that you are going out of your way to help them. Help yourself first, if there's excess, then you can extend to those who need.

I agree with that, but like I mentioned, I find it difficult to say no to the individuals I admire, and that's how they take advantage of me. One of my closest friends used to seek for my assistance anytime he felt like no one else was there for him, but he would always come up with an excuse when I asked. In the end, I broke up with that friend for my own benefit.

Experience is the best teacher. I believe experience should have taught you now that it is not everytime you go out of your way to help someone, however close they might be. Your interest should always come first.

I agree with you. With the time and the experience I have learned to say No to the people. But still sometimes because of the emotions I cannot reject what someone asks me. I know I will overcome my weakness in future.
 
Saying no can indeed be liberating, as it allows you to focus on what truly matters to you and maintain a healthy balance in your life.
Keep prioritizing yourself and your boundaries—it's empowering to live authentically and in alignment with your values.
No truer words have ever been said! Saying no when it is absolutely necessary will make you to focus on your personal life goals, something that should not be taken for granted.
