Say No Nicely

Sometimes we have to stand firm in our stance and just say no to someone who may be urging you to say yes. Whether its a used car salesman, an overbearing boyfriend, or someone who offers you a line of cocaine, you should never forget your manners when saying no!

Steps

 * 1) Look the other person in the eye.
 * 2) Say one of these phrases. Good no phrases include: "No thanks", "Thanks but, I'm good.", "Thanks, but no."
 * 3) Mean what you are saying in a firm but polite manner. Remember to keep in mind that you are being polite while refusing. Don't worry about upsetting them; people soon realize where your boundaries are and respect that.

Tips

 * Be firm.
 * Stand up with your back straight and shoulders taut.
 * If you always say yes to everything, you're someone's walking mat! So grow a backbone and say no sometimes.
