what sort of people don’t say no as much as they probably should?

“No” is such a simple word and yet it is often so difficult to say. But “no” is so important because it defines boundaries; it lets others know what we are and are not comfortable with; it lets others know what we like and what we don’t. There are certain groups of people in particular, who find it hard to say no. They include:

  • Shy people
  • Passive/submissive people
  • People who avoid conflict
  • ‘People-pleasers’
  • Empathetic and nurturing people
  • People with ASD
