  • Jesus was a yes person. He never said "no" to the romans...

  • But my common sense tells me, that if I don't care for or love myself, I cannot be of any use to others. Just wanted to put that out there, and thank you for this great perspective in your video!

  • ...for me, growing up catholic and this is probably true of many religions, I was taught from little on that personal suffering for the benefit of others , is almost like a penance...like in a way, God sees your sacrifice and your heart, and will bless your life in one way or another....

  • And all the while I was being fake to them, fake to myself....I allow them to take advantage of me bc they can and they know they can. That's not healthy at all- I don't know about anyone else reading this, but

  • I must say, after having read so so so many articles, watched videos, etc on how to say no, I have never given thought (or at least enough thought) as to WHY we should say no....why it's not healthy NOT to. I mean, I've suffered most of my life from letting people run me over (most of the time they weren't even aware that it affected me 'at all') because I guess I got good at faking it (is that too strong a word? Bc really that's what I was doing!)

  • what you are saying is true, i have taught this too , to others before i watched your video, i am not responsible for others feelings, if they accuse me of making them irritated, its their own fault for being irritated not mine.

    99% of all people i have said this to, dont agree with me.

  • Saying you dont want to hurt someone's feelings is NOT arrogant. It's considerate. The person only assumed they would hurt your feelings not proclaimed it. It's perfectly natural for a considerate person to feel this way. It's a mistake on thier part to assume yes, but it's humble if you think about it. You're twisting the person's intent.
