In the beginning, always say - no

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Even if you are a very honest person and do not know how / do not want to cheat - you should learn to lie sometimes. Especially if you are very decent and do not know how to deny people.

I think that every person in life had such a situation when he was very sorry that he answered - "Yes", like-to a simple question.

Learn to speak - No

Answering the question / request - "No" - you can always change your answer when in the course of a further conversation you will understand that a person really needs your help and this will not do you any harm.

Answering a question / request - "Yes" - you may find yourself in an awkward position when it turns out that it is you and you do not need nafig, to the same - this, well, does not fit into your plans at all and can even do much harm.
You can not refuse already, because the acquaintance / relative, and if you start lying and yulit then it is very noticeable. To truthfully lie - you need talent!

Always answer - "No"! Then we analyze and if necessary, say - "Yes."

"Are you at home?" - "Yes!"

"We're coming to you! Meet the guests!" - at two o'clock in the morning, a drunken company of friends comes in and "cheers" you till the morning. You can not drive them out, because you're so morbidly decent, and friends are not like them. But he would not have said it, you looked and slept in a warm bed.

"Do you have a car on the run?" - "Yes!"

"Excellent, come and take us from the regional center, we got drunk as pigs and do not have anything to get home" - you warm up the car and go ahead. You go, you scold yourself all the way, because - it's completely unfamiliar to me people, why I did not say - "No".

These are just a few examples from my life, how many there were and not counted.

My advice to you - learn to say - "No". Situations are different and understand what they want from you, with the first phrase of the conversation, just impossible.
