I'm a person not good at refusing other's require. Compromise always lead me into trouble. I clearly know it is a bad character.So many times I told myself I would not obey others. Unfortunately,it didn't work everytime.

All of us must learn to say NO to others! I was just like you, be not good at refusing other's require. But I got some trouble from my compromise, so I learned to say no.

Hey moment, I agree with you that it can be hard to say no. Im like that with family and girls, but after a few years management i got ontop of it, to a good point. At the end of the day you have to know where you stand, and what you can put your foot down. This complex about not being able to say no usually comes from a deep fear of rejection. The best way i know to manage this is by announcing what you want the moment they ask. EX. "Can you lend me $20", you say "Sorry i need that money to pay bills" Let me know if this works for you?
