But, what you really wanted is a couple of quiet days relaxing at home. Or a roommate spends the entire weekends playing video games and wants to borrow your homework for reference. But, youve just finished it after taking a whole day to work hard.Many people say yes to these kinds 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, in fact, according to psychologists.Everyone wants to be liked, says Gabriele Steinki, a German psychologist. Saying no risks losing the affection of the person asking 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 strengthen a relationship because it expresses a true feeling.But, for people used to agreeing to every request, changing can be a long and uncomfortable learning process.Most people believe that If I say no, Ill lose the affection of the person. But the affection is important to me. 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 his affection is too high in the long term.Steinki says the key is talking to the other person to find a mutual (相互的) solution. One needs to present the situation from ones own point of view, and to suggest how the situation can be dealt with to the advantage of both parties. The other person must have the feeling that his interests are being considered.When the refusal is not accepted, Steinki advises giving the reasons calmly again until the person gets the message.1.
