Just say "NO"
Are you a pushover or not? Do ya often just have a problem saying "No" to others when it comes to favors and such?
Can you stand your ground, or do you usually cave right in?

Re: Just say "NO"
I have always been a pushover - often extending myself when I should not. However, with age, I have been getting better and saying no more often. More aware of my limitations and need for "me" time and family time.

Re: Just say "NO"
Kinda depends on the individual. Some are easy to say no too. Others more difficult. But usually, I try to say yes if I can. In favors or Ice cream.

Re: Just say "NO"
It really depends on what they are asking for. Now with the kids, its real easy to say no. At work it's always no. As for a pretty lady , all she has to do is  , and I'm a like melted butter.

NO!! When I say No, I mean NO! I have no problems saying NO! When, enough is enough... it's enough!! Yes, I do agree it depends on the individual, the circumstances surrounding the situation. I use to have the tendency of saying yes all the time, but found out that can be more damaging, than anything else. I do have to admit that at times, I am a big mush, and do give in . I try to look at every angle before determining what my answer will be, or reacting. Time is the key to everything in life, some times it takes a longer length of time and some times it takes a shorter time when making a decision or a YES.

Re: Just say "NO"
It really depends on the situation...my kids can get me at a weak moment but for the most part I'm pretty good about being consistent with them.
At work I'm kind of a hard ass because I have to be but if someone is respectful I can work with them.
When I'm at the point where I'm sayin "NO" to someone all negotiations are off...little flexibility.

Re: Just say "NO"
I guess I'm a pushover,When someone ask me for something I try to do it,which means I get screwed(in the wrong way)sometimes,but I learn who I can trust and who I can't.
