Get over your fear of saying ‘no’
Sometimes the fear of saying no actually comes from a core belief that you’re unlikeable, and that you need to constantly say yes in order to keep others happy. If this resonates with you in any way, it’s time to ask yourself this hard question: “Am I saying yes because I want to, or am I saying it to keep others happy?” Saying no isn’t easy for most of us, because most of us care way too much about what other people think. Ditch the guilt and start small. What’s the best way to say no? Just say it.
