My inability to say No, so I am peeved at me
Biking Lady....Practice as you ride- No, I just can't. Thank you for asking, but I can't. I can't.
Say No with a big smile. Or, “Sorry, no.”
It depends on what you're saying no to. You need slightly different graceful ways of saying no to an invitation vs no to a gift vs no to a request for you to contribute/volunteer vs a coworker wanting you to do part of their job or help them vs....
It also depends on the personality of the person you're saying no to. Some people will get upset no matter how polite you are, and others you have to hit them over the head with a chair before they get the message that you really do mean no.
Yes Sorry is (was) my go to word alsothat is something I have worked on greatly in the last year. I said I was sorry to my dad's roommate who had a stroke at the nursing home last year(pre-covid), He responded with Don't say you're sorry, it was not your fault.
Both Yes and Sorry must surely say something about my personality! Note to self.
I still say "sorry"... not that it was my fault, but that I am sorry that it was/is something that the individual went through/endured. So I'm not sorry for saying sorry in instances like this.Yes Sorry is (was) my go to word also

But people will get upset. I cant control that.
Or they will keep asking in front of other people with the goal of manipulating to gain the desired result. I refuse to be manipulated.
As Cicero said, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”
Oh yeah, that too!
But I fortunately don’t run into that level of manipulation. I’ve seen it happen though to others. It is icky.
