I Am Working On Myself

Saying yes when I mean no.

This is a difficult thing for me to avoid as it can be hard to say no to the people you love. I want to see them happy so I'll go out of my way to make that happen but eventually it builds and I start to feel like I'm running myself ragged only to be taken for granted.

I'm a laid back person and "no, no it's fine, go ahead!" comes out of my mouth far too often. The trouble is that people don't always police themselves and know when to stop asking, this leaves me in the awkward position of having to say enough is enough and usually by that time I'm annoyed and frustrated.

I grew up around some pretty greedy and selfish people, I remember worrying that I would turn into that myself. I guess I went the other way to avoid it.

Some of it for me has been learning that I have limits. Saying yes to everything is fine if you don't have a breaking point.

@CheshireCatalyst I think the problem there is that I only realise the limit is there when I start to get pissed off..by then it may be too late to put in a boundary without trouble.
