learn to say no. Seriously. IF you still find it hard, tell them that you will get back to them with a "yes" or a "no" in a couple of days. And if possible, send your response by email. That way you don't have to deal with pushiness of people. Hope that helps.

For some people it may be difficult to say no but you have to try and do it. Once you succeed, you would have the confidence to do so again. Its better to be honest upfront by saying no rather than face unfavourable conditions later. By avoiding one unpleasant situation, you land up in a worse situation, so think of that and be firm...good luck!

I use to be that way. Eventually it catches up to you and I became overwhelmed. I would just tell them that although I would like to help them, it wasn't possible and someone else would be better to ask than me at that time. Some people will constantly ask you to do things for them because they do not want to, that is when it is OK to just say No. I have that situation at work. It makes others overwhelmed when someone doesn't want to do something and will ask everyone else to do it.

Yup. It's difficult to everyone. But i learnt to say "NO" by thinking of a better life which belongs to me.
Sometimes I find hard to "say no", it's because we afraid that a negative image will build up. However, I think it's not much important than my wonderful, beautiful life.
Work out for your own life which belongs to you!!!!

Please first of all do'nt think any thing with your heart because if you think with your heart you will get this type of problem, it you means if want to make happy every one you would not be able to setisfy every one. Second most important thing is that no one can lead or become leader if he always think from his heart he has to think from his mind for that he may not be able to satisfy every one but the desicions what he take help him to justify him self. ( NITHER BECOME THIS MUCH SWEET THAT SOME ONE SWELLOW YOU NOR BECOME THIS MUCH SOUR THAT SOME SPITS YOU) Be positive and start thinking from you mind insted of heart.

When they ask you, tell them you need time to think about it. Give yourself a day to think it over and go back to them and tell them you have thought about it and can't do it. If you can come up with an excuse, good, if not, just say you can't without any explanations. You don't owe them any.

juz tell them....
I CAN'T HELP YOU WITH THAT. SORRY!!!
you don't owe them an explaination. i was once like you but i learnt to say no. saves me the trouble. i mean i will help if i can, but you can't spend ur life saying yes to everyone. its like being a doormat.
stop doing that! plus if you say no when you really can't do it and help them, its not sincere from your heart. Always be true to yourself! Hope that works!!!

Perhaps you should try getting a backbone. Then, you'd have the ability to decide what you should do, rather than letting someone else decide for you.

Sometimes just smile, and say you do what you think will be the best decision, that you will have to live with.
