Do you ever say " No, i can't " when your friends want helping ????

During my school days and college days I felt it very difficult to say 'No'to somebody especially to friends when they are asking for a help. Later, I found out that when we keep helping somebody, they take it as an advantage and expects more help from us. Now, I know very well where to say 'yes' and where to say 'no'. I don't mind to say 'no'. At the same time, I ty to help them if possible and it won't take much effort.

Yes, I've ever said that if I really can't help or don't have time to help them,lol,, Either "hi" friends or my best friends, I’ll do my best to help if I can.. Once my friend ask me to do her homework and of course I refuse and my best friends wanna ask me to drop her home but I must go to the airport so I can’t.. Only things like that

I tell my friends how it is when they act,in a fashion that bothers me,Just as I would expect the same from them. Even a ignorant statement might lead to a confrontation. I guess that is what friends are all about, being able to speak whats on your mind.Otherwise how could you call them a friend ,if you constantly walk on egg shells.I know my friends might not say anything at the time though ,I do notice that they refrain from things that bother me. That's a general statement ,I don't constantly confront them,they must figure some things out on there own. Communication and trust are the key to doing this for me.

It really all depends on the situation. I usually do not mind helping people if I can, but I have also been burned a few times trying to help someone, which has made me a little more cautious. I usually do what I can for my friends when they need help with something, though, as long as I can get the time off needed to do so, or as long as I can work it into my schedule.

i really like the topic. because in my life i have many times i was in the situation that i don't know how to say no when my friend requested my help. i would like to help my friends if i can. but my ability is limited. i can't to help in everything most times. so when i met the situation i was in very difficult condition. if i said yes, i can not do it, if i said no, i will hurt my friend. so sometimes i felt too tired to live like that. maybe now i'm getting older and i really know how to deal with people. so if i can't do,i just say no. real friend would really understand me, i think.

Yes, I do.. if certain things that is beyond my capabilities, I will just tell them "no" as this will reduce much misunderstanding in due course.. If I can't, then I really can't, and therefore I will say no. I do not want them to keep pondering on me for this 'help' and spoil the friendship.

it really depends upon the availability of my aid to them.it also depends if what kind of help does my friend need. if it's about financial help then i think i can't guarantee that. i can help by some means but not about financial matters.

We should learn to say no,if we really cannot help.That is an art to practice.Even if they are our best friends why should we suffer if we are not in the position to help them.But if the situation is demanding that we alone can help,then we should find some space and time to help them.Otherwise say no bravely.Cheers!
