The Nuthouse
What bad habit of yours would you most like to break?
I have a bad habit of over booking myself and not being able to say no
to people. There are obvious times that I know I can't do it all or nor do I want
to do some things but a little bit of pushing from certain people and I will
find myself agreeing.
It is actually something that irritates me to no end because I will finally
say no can't do it and then others will push the subject and I will budge.
It irritates me that it doesn't bother other people even though they know
it doesn't want to be done. In the end it's my own fault for
not standing my ground.
The few times I have ended up absolutely standing my ground, I end
up looking like a witch and that makes it worse.
What is your bad habit?

That is a tough one!!! Although I have found it easier to do the older I've gotten:)
Same here. It's so hard to say "no" and then not feel guilty!
I hear you. I used to have this problem until I really looked at myself and asked myself why I always said yes to things that I didn't really want to do. I realised it was because I wanted people's approval and admiration. So that helped me to overcome it. Good luck!
I hate to hear this :( It's probably because they have become so reliant on you saying yes. I say keep standing your ground, place a limit on the number of activities each week or month that you take on, and when you hit your limit, say no or prioritize. Hopefully overtime, those peoples will back off and you won't feel so guilty. Family first. always :)
I know exactly what you mean! Even when I say no, I always feel guilty and then worry about it getting done. Problem is that if I (or you) do it all then no one else ever steps up. :(
