The power to say No.

There have been countless instances, where i have done things that i have not wanted to do. Instances where i have regretted wasting my time, just because i could not … simply say no.

I think my constant desire to be liked by everyone, to be accepted and the fear of being left alone has driven me to become a ‘Yes’ woman. Its just ad nauseam.

Well i have decided that from now on, if i don’t want to do it, it is a crisp … No and ofcourse with no explanation attached, trying to cover my curt reply.

Hell i don’t want to do it. Period.

Few of the instances where i had wanted to say No, but pathetically chickened out.

 …. ….. tsch tsch … …. anyway here goes … …

• Meeting my ex, when he called and wanted to meet and for what reason? Just like that.
• Lunching with my girl friend and discussing how to convince her mom and dad to let her marry her bf for the nth time
• Be an agony aunt to people who just come to you, when they need a shoulder to cry on
• Bought that sweater that i thought i was compeled to buy just because i spent an hour in that store and the sales girl was super friendly
• All the booty calls at 12 in the night in name of Love (Eeww) (What the hell was I thinking?!)
• Helped out that colleague knowing that i was hard pressed for time … though she begged me for it (I need to be cruel!)
• Have coffee with a lonely soul in office just because he asked (?? i baffle my self)

Damn this list is going to just go on and on.

Hopefully me eager beaver will simmer down and learn to say no when i am seriously, desperately and most definitely wanting to.

No
