We must make decisions in our everyday, work, family, and social lives and answer “Yes” or “No” as a result. In such moments, we've all wanted to say "No," but couldn't.
In such cases, the individual focusses on the value he/she brings to the questioner and the fear of losing him/her rather than the question.
So, the solution to the question depends on this centre value. Suppose your parents want something from you. If you value your parents, you're more likely to give them what they want. Your familial and social interactions can inform your assessment.
Every life choice opens new paths. Your answers are like paths to other scenarios. You can think and analyse as if you will follow the event map that continues on this path if you say "yes" or the map that goes on another path if you answer no. In this instance, your decisions will also affect you closely.
In that instance, you must think clearly and not judge the situation just from your or the other person's perspective. The results of this situation may depend on your decision and how you discuss it with the individual in front of you.
Everyone has responsibilities. These include being a parent, teacher, student, employee, or boss. Our social duties and responsibilities vary by place. These jobs are interconnected. Just like at work, you can be a dad at home.
Motherhood is possible if you teach in school. Whether you realise it or not, all these roles demand you to spend a lot of time on them during the day.
You and others must remember that these duties can be shared. Trying to tackle all these tasks alone will weary you physically and mentally. Losing motivation during the day will reduce your productivity in your key tasks.
Instead of attempting to handle all your tasks on your own and making every duty acceptable, remember that responsibilities may be shared and that saying no now will benefit you physically and mentally.
This will help you finish chores faster and better.
Say you're leaving a busy day. Your friend asks you to do something, and you answer "Yes, of course I will do it for you" even when you want to say "no" because you can't say no and are frightened of losing them.
No is equally crucial as yes for healthy people. Saying "no" prevents others from breaking your boundaries, not selfishness.
Instead of agreeing with your friend, explain your case politely. In a healthy friendship, your friend will understand and appreciate your decision to say no.
When viewed from the other person's perspective, the person may feel guilty, responsible, and regretful for saying no. They may be frightened the other person's opinion of them would alter and be unable to resist what is said and demanded of them for fear of losing them.
