Are you a yes man ( or woman)?

No

Yes, I mean no, Oh, whatever you want!

Not any more. Long fought battle, but I can say no nowadays.

no

Nope.

Nope.

My people pleasing days are long gone. ;-)

I was for a ridiculously long time. Those were some hard to learn life lessons. Now I’m a “I’ll pass” type of person.

@SpatzieLover heh , I’ll pass. I think I may adopt that.

Depends….I rarely say no but I do think twice on most requests so…maybe!

I’m a yes man when the cost benefit is favorable to me.

I find it easy to be realistic and I say no without difficulty. I also tend to say no more quickly than I say yes. I’m learning to say, “Let me think about it.” if it’s something I might like to do, but can’t see how at the moment.

@Sunny2 That was one of the most valuable lessons a dear older & wiser friend taught me: “Buy Time As Needed” in your case “Let me think about it” to consider my options.

@SpatzieLover You mean someone thought of that before I did? I try so hard to be first.
Seldom make it.

definitely not.

No. I like to under promise and over deliver.

@Neizvestnaya , clever.

No, and it’s gotten me in trouble. I’ve had to learn to STFU and not say anything sometimes.

When it benefits me.

Sometimes I masquerade as a people pleaser, but really I just try to act in ways I think are right, which often times means helping people. I don’t consider it a bad quality.

No, as a matter of fact, I’ve lost very high-paying jobs because of this.

Maybe. Sometimes. Its possible. I’ll get back to you on that. If everything works out. Its probable but unlikely. Possibly, maybe not.
Then, there is Hell NO! 99.9% of the time.

I really want to be, because it would make me feel good, but it really is dumb sometimes, really it’s dumb most of the time. And I’m starting to really not give a shit as much any more. I mean, I care…but I just don’t give a shit…as much.

I like to help people, but only when I’m able to. I have no trouble saying no when I need to or want to.

Yes. I like to be helpful. (nothing negative about that)

You never know when you might need help.

@jonsblond , oddly enough that’s how I feel-
especially when people appreciate it.
