This one hits close to home for me, as I’ve always found it tough to say “no”.From helping a friend move house on my only day off, to taking on extra work projects even when I’m already swamped, I’ve often struggled with setting boundaries.The reason?I didn’t want to disappoint anyone. I feared that saying “no” would make me a bad friend or an uncooperative colleague.But this is what psychologists warn us about. If you find it difficult to refuse requests or favors, even when they’re inconvenient or unreasonable, it’s a sign that you have a soft heart that people might be taking advantage of.Remember that saying “no” doesn’t make you selfish or uncaring. It simply means you’re taking care of your own needs too, which is just as important.
