Are you the kind of person with a soft heart when it comes to your friends? Do you always extend effort to please them? When can we say that a friend is really in need of our attention because of material or any urgent personal matters? Is it okay or not to say No sometimes to a needy friend?

Hi. This is a kind of thing that I can't resist. I don't know why my heart were also so soft that I can't decline any request from my friends. I think maybe because I love make friends and I'm scared that I'm going to lose them. Life are very 'island' if you don't friends. :

It only means you are a kind hearted person, however its not bad to say No sometimes if the reason is much reasonable than saying yes at your own disadvantage or even to your friend.Thanks

of course it's alright to say no to a needy friend sometimes. it's all depends on your own capability actually. if you are capable to help, why not help your needy friend? but if you are unable to help yourself, how can you help others, right?
