You can say "NO"

I think we feel the need to give give give and sometimes we don't understand that we can't always please everyone. No matter what we decide to do there will be one person who isn't satisfied. People will guilt trip you because they are so used to you doing for them and not saying no. I want you to know that just because you do stuff for people that doesn't make you a great person. Even if you decided not to do something or just say "no," that doesn't make you a bad person either. It's hard for people to take rejection when they are always used to having things handed to them or just use to sucking the life out of people who say YES all the time. I learned that doing things for people all the time and then not taking care of yourself will put you in a terrible place. I use to feel guilty when people would ask for things, and I would finally say no, and it would be like world war 3 for some people. So never let someone make you feel guilty for saying no. We all have to put our foot down sometimes and just because you decide to do so doesn't mean that you don't have a good heart or that you are a horrid person. "NO" isn't a bad word and sometimes it's a good way to protect yourself from bad decisions. Understand this the next time someone asks you for something that you just aren't willing to do and you say "no" ready for any reaction you get and know that you aren't a bad person for making a choice that doesn't correlate with what they wanted.
