Saying No

[NeedAUserName]

I have just realized I have a real problem saying no to people. I mean I can do it if someone asks for something extreme, or weird. But on menial things I almost always say yes, even if its not something I want to do. I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem, or any advice.

Yes, I used to be that way when I was younger. Then overnight, I pretty much just wanted to be an asshole to everyone. Even my wife thinks I'm an asshole most of the time. Just repeat the mantra : "Uwe Boll.... Uwe Boll.... "

No seriously though, I realize that you're just trying to be the nice person, but the one thing to remember is this : the nice person is always the one that get's called to put the bed together for the girl, so she can sleep with some other guy.

Ok, playing WoW, someone asks me for a boost through an instances thats going to take me 30 minutes to do, and I'm busy and don't want to do it. I still say yes, because they are a quildie.

You'll keep it up until one day you realize people are taking advantage of you. Then you'll spend a crazed year being really angry and feeling vindictive towards people that never meant any harm. Then you mellow out after you start expanding your consciousness with some really cool people you meet out in California, who turn out to be a cult and are brain washing you. Then after a while you realize that's just symptom not the problem itself an-

Wait, what are we talking about again?

Oh i thought you mean irl, like someone asks for $5 or something. Game wise, well...it's a game. Dunno what to tell ya. I help newbies sometimes, but most times they're just leechers and I yell expletives at them.

See I was about to quote this and say the exact same thing happened to me, up until the point where cult was mentioned. ALl of the above from that happened to me, it's a bad time but just power through.

Yh but that was when I realized, it happens in real life too.

Yeah, I was about to sorta lay out my whole experience growing up but my sarcasm kicked back in. Some of the changes from being angry are permanent and probably for the best.

First that video needs a thread for itself, and second I can imagine Garfield smoking weed, between cartoons, just watching TV and eating.
