Many people have been taught since childhood to help other people and never refuse them.
However, this habit may not be so useful.
Sometimes, as a result of helping, our own lives begin to suffer.
Why you need to be able to say no to people
Experts point out that sometimes people around you simply don't appreciate what you do for them. They just get used to you constantly agreeing to do them a favor and take your kindness for granted.
It is worth at least checking your friends: ask them to help you in any way. If they also come to the rescue, then such people should be appreciated. In most cases, people will have a lot of excuses.
In this case, your ability to refuse will indicate that you have managed to establish personal boundaries. It is also evidence that you cannot be used.
Sometimes helping can actually be harmful. For example, you help someone out of kindness. But by doing so, you deprive the person of a chance to fix the situation on their own.
Adults should be able to independently solve the problems that arise for them.
