Well, you just don't give in. And you never explain yourself. You don't have to. No means no and make it stick. You don't go back and forth about it. Soon they get the message that you mean what you say. People keep going on and on when they don't think you're stable in your answer or mean it. Show them that you mean it by carrying out what you say you will do.
