Actually, I tried saying No to some people at some instances, and I ended up regretting it later. It makes me feel guilty for rejecting some one's preposition. I feel responsible for what they'd feel after I say No.
This is a manufacturing fault I have, and I don't know how to recover from this without making enemies of people around me.
Any suggestions I could use to smoothly say no or reject something while not hurting their feelings?
Don't worry about this manufacturing defect. Earlier I had the same problem. I said 'yes' not to hurt them. But I experienced a lot from others. I felt 'used', when someone get help from me, but leave me when my time comes. Don't regret for this quality, but just be careful for whom you are doing?
