Saying No: An Exercise In Freedom And Control
We deal with a number of challenges in our lives, and we’re sometimes given two options: say yes or say no. However, with just two options, some people appear unwilling to say no for a change. These people are strong and reliant in many respects, yet they say yes to avoid embarrassment because they overthink how the other person making the offer would feel. However, there is a narrow line between those two options, as this offer may unintentionally harm you in the long run. As a result, this is one aspect that we frequently ignore before rushing to say yes.
That’s why we’ve come together to talk about some of the times when we need to say no, regardless of how the other person feels. Saying no to poisonous relationships or even friendships, as well as a profession that has a negative impact on your mental health and is killing you, are examples of these scenarios. Furthermore, it is impossible to remain cheerful and upbeat every day, which is why it is critical to say no to that hangout with your friends regardless of whether they understand your reasons or not. Most importantly, women in the Arab world suffer numerous obstacles due to persistent inequity. Therefore, when a man approaches a woman with terrible intentions, women must say no, even if it may embarrass the man.
Saying no is difficult because we are often concerned about the implications and how other people may react. Regardless, we must say no from time to time to protect our mental health, which is costly. It’s a decision that defines who we are and how willing we are to look after ourselves. Remember, you are your own savior, and no one knows you better than you do. That is why, if you have the desire to say no, even if it is only a small part of you, saying no is critical.
