Why people dont understand the simple meaning of No

Some just wouldn't understand it even if you say "No" too many times already. I think it's because it's playing in their minds that they need you to say "Yes" that they start hearing "Yes" instead of "No" from you.

Hi Bholebaba, I understand its annoying sometime, but I would say you never say No. Rather show it in actions, killing someone in silence is best way. You turn deaf ears and the attitude will let them know. Just practise it you will find its working.

Some people are persistent especially if they are required to. Like for those people who are selling things, they have to try to convince others to buy because they are relying on their jobs for the money.

Because some friends or other people think that they right and they want us to listen and follow their advice. Well,just listen and never say a word,esp if they are your friends. Though sometimes it is so hard to control our feelings and we tend to say a word that might hurt them. jaiho®

Great discussion really people not understand the meaning of no and the reason behind this why we are saying no. They wants to force to do the work which they want even our heart is not ready for doing this. If this situation is happening in between with you and your family then no chance to say no but if your friends or other than family member someone is forcing you then you can say I dont want to do then why I will do.

You have the right to say no most especially it is against your will. If they do not understand you and it is their opinion that they want to be obeyed then just give your side in a manner of not arguing and leave them alone after that so as for them to think for themselves what you have reasoned out. If you do believe that you are right and have the right then you will be given the option and that is if their pride is not too high. Do not insist if they are really closed to positive opinion because they are really acting that deaf and blind stand.

ugh I am always tied up to situations like this. Mostly because I can't say no to anyone, I feel bad. And partly because like you said people just won't stop! I don't know what part of No they don't get!! Me, I seldom give the NO but still it's unheard of

It always happen when your are YES! person and any deviation from normal causes this misunderstanding. This was my order in my life, growing up in a village that expected every child of someone to be a property of relatives. I used to loyal to them, jumping to their calls and working my muscles to the ground...but when I refused to, they expected me to give a reason for that. If you train people to use you, then they will make sure they exploit your humbleness

It depends on who you say no to. If you say no to your parents and they think you're not doing the right then they will not accept no for an answer... If you know you are right, then you have to defend yourself... if you find yourself unfair then you have to accept they are right.

I know what you mean _

Nice discussion friend yes I also not know why people not understand the meaning of no.. My husband always give me work to do and force me to do that but never thinks that I am busy in other household or I am tired. Then I feel much disappointed.
