How to Stop Being a People Pleaser
Tip #3: EVALUATE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS
Examine the relationships you have with those you have trouble saying “no” to. Will you saying “no” to your sister mean that she’ll disown (отказаться) you and never come over for dinner again? Will saying “no” to a coworker who wants to pick your brain about something really mean that you won’t be able to have lunch together again? When you understand the dynamic and your role, you won’t feel as worried about the consequences of saying no. You’ll realize that your relationships can withstand (устоять) your saying no.
