Oftentimes, a person has to follow other people’s wishes, but in his heart, he wants to say no. That often happens to me. Without me realizing it, my desire to be a nice person drives me to follow other people’s agendas.

The line between a kind-hearted person and the one who’s not daring to say no is very blurred.

I see signs when my mental condition is damaged because of the fear of saying no. The main signs are excessive fatigue, stress and anxiety, and feeling unappreciated or disrespected.

Have you ever experienced the same thing?

Some say that someone who faces this situation must be brave enough to say “no” without feeling worse. However, it is not that simple. Humans are social creatures, so their need to be accepted by others is quite strong.

Let’s talk about this. Do you have any opinions or experiences on how to react in such situations?
