Lesson Overview

13.26 – How to Say No to Someone You Like: Saying no to someone you genuinely like can feel impossible because you don’t want to hurt them or seem unkind. But protecting your comfort is not rejection—it’s self-respect. True connection grows from honesty, not compliance. When you say no clearly and respectfully, you give both people clarity instead of confusion. Kind people often over-explain or apologize for their boundaries, but you don’t need permission to stand firm. A simple, calm no is powerful when paired with confidence. The right person will value your honesty instead of pressuring your silence. Remember, saying no creates space for relationships built on truth rather than fear. You deserve connections where comfort is mutual, not one-sided.
