Saying no can be difficult. People who are very shy often have little confidence. They think that they have to meet everyone’s need. It is very hard for them to say no. They sometimes feel shy if they say no, but doing things that they don’t want to will make them unhappy.

Recently, China Youth Daily did a survey among 450 students in 2017, asking them how they feel about saying no to others. Let's see what they found out.

What holds: you back from saying "no"?

Too much pressure: from the other person because of their age, status or other factors.

Don' t know to say "no" in a polite way.

Worry that saying "no" may hurt people': feelings.

Don't know how to deal with feelings of embarrassent after saying "no".

Worry that saying "no" may hurt relations between the other person and me.

In fact, in daily life a simple and direct "No" is the best way. If you want to explain, you can keep it simple. Just say, “No, I've already made plans for this time" or, "Sorry, I'm afraid I’m not free at that time.” etc. To say no you should:

● Start the sentence with the word “no”.

● Shake your head when you say no to make sure they understand. Your voice should be clear and direct. Keep eye contact.

If someone makes a request, it is necessary to ask for time to think it over. The decision should be up to you, but sometimes it is difficult to say no. You can try to reply in the following way: “Sorry, I would have taken care of your cat next weekend, but I will be going out. I know it will be hard to find someone to take care of the cat. I will try to help you neat time.” Remember that: You have the right to say no!
