      Most people say" yes" much more readily than" no".
     A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some
help,and you agree. But, what you really wanted was relaxing at
home for a couple of quiet days,or a roommate spends the whole
weekend playing video games and wants to borrow your homework
for"reference". But,you've just finished it after working hard for a
whole day.
     Many people say" yes" to this kind of requests. They tend not
to consider their own interests and feelings,and are often angry with
themselves afterwards. Saying" no" requires courage and considerable
practice. " Everyone wants to be liked. " says Gabriele Steinki,a
German psychologist. "Saying'no'risks losing the affection of the
person asking for the favor. Or even a job. "The result is that many
people say"yes"just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is
regrettable. Anyone should have the right to say" no". In fact, rejecting
a request can even help to stabilize a relationship because it
expresses real affection. But,for peop'le accustomed to agreeing every
request,it's very distressing to say" no".
     Most people believe that if they say" no" ,they'll lose the affection
of the person. But the affection is important to them. This way
of thinking can be replaced by this:"If he only likes me because I
always do what suits him,then the price of this affection is too high
in the long term. "
    When people say " no", Steinki advises giving the reasons
calmly until the person gets the message.
