I keep trying and failing to get signed in at Boomeon, so would you settle for a share on Twitter? Completely agree with you about the “no” thing. I think too many of us are afraid to look like bitches if we set boundaries.
Love this. No is most definitely a complete sentence. It’s just a shame a lot of people don’t know the meaning of it!
Saying no is definitely a struggle for me. Hehe I know it’s strange but I always feel like people are going to hate me or like me less if I tell them no at something.
I am guilty of overexplaining. I need that “No is a complete sentence”. I will say “no” to a boomeon account. I did share on social media.
I wish my kids knew what this mean’t! No means no I tell them not yes, not maybe but no!
Great post. I agree, I used to have the worst time saying “no.” I learned to get over it real quick..lol. 😉
it really is! No is no.
I got comfortable at saying no. My life is better since I put limits on saying yes.
I love no. One of my favorites. Great post. It’s empowering, teaching my children boundaries, mom has a life and needs. Good stuff.
So you’re saying ‘No’ means ‘No’? Okay- I’ll stick with that.
I am learning to say no more often — it’s very freeing!
I just love this! But honestly most of the times I find it so difficult to just say NO. But I agree it is always better to learn saying NO & clear it on.
Read your post over on Boomeon. For me, when I hear plain NO from someone I do want to hear why. And I do like to provide why. But I quite agree with you, NO is enough.
Yes, absolutely! I honestly find it disrespectful when folks push for an explaination when being told ‘no’.
I am one of those women who have a hard time saying no and it usually ends up with me over extending myself….something I am working on:)
