Why is it that there are people who won't take "no" for an answer? I think they should accept some "no's"

Question

I know that there are people who can't take no for an answer.

In my opinion, people should sometimes(not always) take no for an answer. These people need to understand that others have their own limits, especially emergencies.

I think that saying no is very useful because it frees oneself from a lot of stress, overcommittment, anger, frustration, sadness, guilt, and regret. I mean saying "no" in a polite and non-offensive way.

My question is....
Why won't they accept "no"?

Answer 1

Some people just always have to have the last word or always be right. They are arrogant and self serving jerks. They are also frustrating.
I think the people who are like that are only children who were raised to belive that they didn't have to do anything that someone would always take care of the bad stuff for them and they had no responsibiliy when they were growing up. So now as adults they think they can do whatever they want.

Answer 2

Denial, sometimes people can't see past their own selfishness in order to accept a "No"

Answer 3

because they're arrogant and short-sighted and think that they know what's best for everyone and in every sitation. they've never learned to see things from another person's point of view, so anyone who disagrees wtih them is wrong and stupid.

Answer 4

Maybe they are just used to walking all over you...uhm, I mean depending on you. :)

Answer 5

some people can't handle rejection
