Should people learn to say "NO" more often?

[Ja sa bong]

I believe a lot of people are struggling with knowing when to refuse doing anything for someone. As a result of this, such people take on the burden of others together with their own and it makes life miserable for them. Such can actually make them depressed because they don't want to fail whom they couldn't say no to.

Do you think saying no to some people should make you feel bad?

A lot of stress comes from overcommitting, usually because people don’t want to disappoint others or miss opportunities. But every “yes” also means a “no” to something else, rest, priorities, or even your own goals. Learning to say no helps set boundaries, prevents burnout, and makes your “yes” more meaningful when you do give it. I

The hard part is that saying no can feel uncomfortable at first, especially with people you care about or opportunities that look good on paper.
