Interestingly, although the situation seems to be quite simple, and in reality it should be very easy. But, the fact sometimes takes us by surprise and that is why almost all of us commit and even add complications to our lives, simply because we do not know or can not say "NO"; and the scammers take advantage of that weakness of ours.

The issue is delicate, I admit, especially when considering human "sensitivity". However, knowing that we are masters of our destinies and decisions, we must facilitate the arguments to become aware and say "NO" when we really want or should to say "NO". For example: No more Scam...

Simply: To Say "NO"

I reiterate that one of the curious facts that put us in trouble almost daily, is the usually rational and often captious request made by our relatives, friends, co-workers and even some strangers, to commit ourselves to something; and before which, to avoid being "trapped" in negative situations, it becomes evident that we must to say "NO".

Simply, to say "NO", not agreeing with the request made to us or with the approach or arguments associated with it, or we are unable to fully comply or because we can visualize the "liveliness" of the applicant, or if we believe that by complying with it we will be negatively affected, among many other reasons.

Therefore, saying "NO" when we really want to say "NO", is the best strategy we must follow to avoid unpleasant consequences that may occur related to the fulfillment of the "please, can you...?" made; But, the fact of saying "NO" should not imply arguing, offending, assaulting or humiliating the person making the request.

In this context, saying "NO" rationally is something that should be simple; in contrast, emotionally it becomes a dramatically complicated action; circumstance for which many people approach the "opportunists" to manipulate them and engage them with supports, themes, activities, situations or actions that do not really want to get involved, which leads to the unpleasant final consequence of doing improper, losing things, unsatisfactory, risky or harmful to themselves.

Based on the previously argued and outlined, we must at all times be balanced in the context reason/emotion, to make our answers true, especially when knowing how to express a "NO" at the moment that merits it; said this without feeling bad, or believing bad people, selfish, mean, rude or hypocritical; although it seems that way and in fact, some "sensitive" people may criticize this publication, based on their "puritanical" logic or emotion.

Fear of "NO"

It is extremely remarkable the filial and counterproductive scenario of some people when they must to say "NO", because they suffer with indecision and moral and emotional dilemmas, they are ashamed to be wrong or they are "paralyzed" by the restrictive fear of defrauding; especially when they do not know how to argue or justify their "NO", or they feel sorry for saying the truth.

In addition, many people who maybe they have minimized their self-esteem, become overwhelmed when they consider that they do not "appear" or are approved, valued, respected, loved, accepted and taken into account. For this reason, they are traditionally dependent on "easy prisoners" to make them available for almost everything, and to condemn their legitimate right to say "NO".

In an equivalent way, saying "NO" is interrelated with the fact of learning to rationally define everything we want, correctly delimiting the necessary, important, urgent and priority; and associated with planning based on our limited resources, especially time. Therefore, we must avoid being hypocrites to "look good" or "feel afraid" because we believe that by saying "NO", we generate a bad response or that with the denial we disappoint the applicant, or that we will be removed from the group in which we socialize.

Why? How? And when? To Say No

So, if we have thought with due rational clarity, before an "undesirable" request, at the time of answering we should simply not feel fear or To sadness when saying a strong and sincere NO. In these terms, the following are several content items of the Why? How? And when? To Say no":
