Where's the 'No option?'

I am not like you, I learned if you don't know how to say 'No' you will get screwed over big time.

Seriously.. No was one of the best things I ever learned to say to teachers, strangers, co-workers, parents, etc.

There was this homeless girl outside a book store. I stopped to give here some change and made the mistake to actually listen to her. Before I knew it she was giving me a bullshit story about how she ran away from home with her young sisters from her druggie dad and that social services keep sending money to her druggie mum... She was giving me the hole sad story about how she was waiting a week for her new foster family to pick her up, all the time begging for €90 to stay in a hostel. Not really sure if she was telling the truth I ended up giving her what I had, €30. She wasn't even grateful for that much!!
I eventually found a Garda (Irish police) and explained my concerns for the girl. He knew all about her and her "story". :angered: I never felt like such a clown until then. I now feel a part of me died that day (my patience and generosity).

Lol not at all, "No" is my favorite word. I'm used to hearing it all the time, so I learned how to say it at an early age ;)

I was born saying 'no' to others when I know my limitations or someone is being unreasonable in their request. If it's their responsibility, they need to take it. Not pass it on to someone else.

Or if it's a simple favor and I don't have the spare energy/time... they need to understand that.

If someone wants to throw a tamtrum, just let them walk it off. Don't throw yourself under the bus when they're not bending over backwards for you too.

auugh I have yet to figure a way to say 'no' politely
truth is, I often can tell them I already said 'yes' to
another appointment/date that collides with the date in question.
but when I say no I feel like I let that person down. duh
