How do you tell someone no?

[blissinanarchy1]

This isn’t an assertiveness question. It’s not “how do I grow the balls to say it?”

Even the most blunt of us don’t typically refuse a request or demand by saying “No.”

Most often we’re more tactful about it.

My go to’s are

“Not right now.”

”Nah, (further talk)

”Can’t happen.”

I never had a problem of hesitated saying No to someone. If I remember correctly my parent's told me the first few words I learnt as a child, No was one of them. I overused it especially as a toddler. So, I had enough practice, lol.

So, I just say "No" firmly.

All you have to do is tell them no and then tell them why.

I got no problem saying no. I’m saying most people when they say no say something other than “no”

All that depends on the context man.

Fuck no! Anyway I believe you should keep your current method.
