How do you say "NO' to your near and ear ones?

Yes, nowadays people are already filled with responsibilities that at some point of our life we have to learn to say 'NO'. This is necessary to have a peaceful life. That's what I think.

With friends its not so difficult.we frankly say no yaar i'm busy or i have too much to cover up for the coming test etc.But with relatives and cousins,I avoid saying a blunt 'NO'.I simply make some excuse or the other to slip out of the committment i don't want to fulfill.lol.Hehehehe

I thing I'm little different than more people.I mean that I haven't problem to say NO to anyone always polite but still NO is No for me.I see the things from different way.The most of the people that we use some excuse trying avoid say a directly No they know it.I don't like they use for me excuses when I know or just they say lie or try avoid......I prefer a direct No ,I can handle the *NO* but not the excuses.So if I can't speak at the phone I pick up and I told them is wrong time for calls,if I don't want they visit me I just say with the reason of course or if I feel I don't want accompany someone I just don't..etc. All my friends except me with these way.I always tell the things as they are even what I say isn't what they want hear. For example many of them they told me they that didn't fell so bad because the last time I didn't accompany them ,than the other person who goes with them but they fell he did just because was hard to say no but actually didn't want it.

I usually phrase it in a way as not to hurt their feelings. Sometimes I have to come out and say NO and there are a few people that I know that even though you say "I am actually busy that night because of so and so", they still don't take that answer as a NO.

Hello,deepak,i do not think it is impolite to say no as we cannot say yes all the time,we need to learn how to say no at a good time with proper manner.If someone ask me to accompany him/her for a movie and i do not want to go, i will tell them i am not interested in the movie(it may depend on who is askign me out for the movie). If someone transfer his/her responsibilities to me but i am not suppose to do it,i will tell him/her that i will finish my jobs first before i can help anyone. If someone ask my permission to visit me when i am not in a comfortable position,i will tell them i am busy at the moment and i will get back to them later. If somebody make a call to me and i do not want to take the call,i will just leave it unanswered. No matter what you do or what you say,just say it in a polite manner and it will be fine.

Quite difficult to say "No" specially to friends when they ask for any kind of help.It really puts me in tough times when they stress for help again and again. But its not possible for me to say yes all the time and with great difficulty i say no to them explaining my situation.for instance if my friends are compelling me to accompany them to go somewhere..i will say yes if am free but surely say no when am not in a situation to move about.My friends get angry with me very rarely in this type of situation but they tend to forget it which is the essence of true friendship. Even in office..i handle the situation in the same manner..if i can help my collegue defintly i will do otherwise i will flatly say no iam sorry i have to got more work to complete.I hope they will understand.

yeah, it is very difficult for me when someone asks something very politely and wants me to do it, but if i can't do it then there is no other option for me so then i say, i can't do it because of this reason but someother time, i will surely do it for you.

it's very hard to ssy"no" refuse sb. is a difficult thing i should try to learn how to say no!

just say NO its that easy

I do agree that it is always impolite and difficult to say 'NO' to a proposal... u like it or not. but sometimes u can't help. but i think being practical is always good and if you can conmmunicate your concerns then i hope that other person would agree too
