source http://xenxaltonix..com/2014/07/this-would-help-you-say-no-to-people_692.html?m=0 If you are the "very nice" or maybe "fairly nice" type of person. You know how annoying people can be attimes. They always try to exploit your niceness and kindness, always trying to use you, push you, get you to do more than a descent amount and annoyingly continue to ask you to do more. The worst is that your efforts are not often appreciated and you are still taken for granted. Unless you learn to say "NO" to this type of people, the circumstance may not change or may even get worse. People can inconsiderate and unreasonable sometimes, they dont care if you are busy, they just want you do do exactly as they say at that moment. Being able to reject their demands will help you gain respect and you will often be appreciated whenever you offer to help them. Here are the four ways you can say "NO" to any request without getting aggressive or negative response from people. #1. SAY IT IN A SOFT AND POLITE TONE As opposed to yelling "NO" at the person which may create an uncomfortable encounter you can instead say no indirectly by deferring your help. For example "Not right now please!, Am a bit preoccupied at the moment but will be done in some minutes, by then i can help you." "Please am busy and i dont have a free time for now. Maybe later in the day" "Oh i would realy love to help, however not at this moment, please try michael". #2. NEGOTIATE A DEAL Whenever people who always want your help but would not help you in return approach you for help, You can negotiate, because at this point you have what they need then use that opportunity. Here is an example "I will help you but on one condition- and that is, whenever i need something( anything) you will also help me in return" Since you have what they want they usually would agree to your terms, however if they disagree you can use approach #1 above by softening the "NO" and postponing your help. This type of people view their needs as more important and the need of others as secondary. Since they consider themselves more important than others, then linking your need to their gain is a fair negotiation approach. In a nutshell tell then you will give them what they want if they give you what you want in return. #3. DIVIDE THE TASK In cases whereby a request from these category of people cannot be rejected. Another approach is to cut the task in such a way that you take the smaller and easier part, while they do the bigger and hard part. That is, you offer to help them only if they do the more tasking part of the job. For example, "I will clean two rooms if you clean the other three rooms". "If you can get the materials i will write the research report" #4. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT You can get better at this by saying no to things that arent so important. That is say no to individuals or offers whose approval does not realy matter to you. You will discover that saying no does nOt mean the end of the world and doesnt necessarily imply that the other person is not pleased with you. Best way to do this is to say no to something you are offered and choose other available options. The idea here is to win back control of your interactions with people that often push you beYond limit. It gets better with time and practise. source http://xenxaltonix..com/2014/07/this-would-help-you-say-no-to-people_692.html?m=0 |
