Saying “NO”

At the age of 24, I still get myself into trouble by being nice. Perhaps I should stop being nice and be mean. But that’s just not in my nature.

I find it hard to say no to help others. I don’t know why but I feel like it is partly my duty to be nice and to help others. Maybe the fluffy heart’s too soft. Maybe I don’t have the selfish bone in me. One thing for sure is that I need to stop being a pleaser. Well not to everyone but to those selected ungrateful, downright selfish and egotistic people.

I finally did say a “NO” the other day. It felt good. I pretty much felt so proud of myself. Possibly it’s my size, people take me for granted cause am small. So I don’t look tough or even intimidating.

It’s ok. There’ll be more “NO’s” coming out of my mouth to those that should not be pleased. Shoo. Go away.
