Can you ever say a "NO" effectively? .. to a Friend, to ur Spouse, to ur client?

Consequences of saying no? If it's right for me to say no, I need to do that for myself. I have no problem saying no, because I say yes so often. It's okay to balance things out, but it's also important to have your time. If you are stressed, or busy, no is almost appropriate. Depending on what you are talking about saying no to... People need to learn to say what they want and need...sometimes NO is what you need to say.

I must admit, I'm sometimes quite poor when it comes to saying no especially to friends. Maybe because I see obliging to their requests as doing them a favor. It's not really peer pressure. I could have have said no if I wanted to but I guess it's in my nature to be obedient. But I do say "no" on situations where the outcome of what they are asking may not be favorable for me and possibly for them. And once I make that decision to say no, I stand firm on it.

I can answer no if I don't like to do it or I know if it really wont work out. Anyway if they insist I will explain why I answered no for letting them understand the consequences of a mistake. I don't know why I am so firm when I say no or with my decision. I will really stand my answer. Somethings have time to weigh things but it takes time also for me to answer a yes or no I'll just say just give me time for my answer. Have a great day!

I am not very perfect at refusng bt I do say NO when I have to even though it bothers me case I cant oblige and suffer more..For me its not a perfectly won battle but I do win.. Have a nice day!

I`m a determined and honest man. When something is good or not I think is not appropriate, direct say NO! Just so I can tell honestly think, and immediately, without hiding anything. From my point of view it is absolutely okay.
