Good afternoon, Dear Friends! If yesterday we started talking about how we react to the word “no”, to refusal, today I invite us all to discuss how this “ no” is best to say how best to present it. And we’ll also start talking about how to respond to a refusal. How to make sure that a refusal offends your interlocutor least of all, if, as we found out, even a small offense is inevitable? When refusing and discussing its reasons, the same rules of correct communication that I regularly talk about will apply I write: “I-statement”, respect for the interlocutor, and so on will help. It is important, first of all, not to simply say “no”, it is important to explain why this happens, that we are forced to refuse. It is important to explain so that the refusal is not perceived as rejection, so that our interlocutor does not have reasons to think of something negative. All sorts of short forms like “no, I’m not interested in this”, “no, I don’t want this”, as you understand, the situation is not improved and little is explained. Well, the other one is not some kind of crystal vase, we will not destroy anyone with our refusal. It doesn’t make much sense to agree, in order not to offend the interlocutor, and then not do something that we, for example, were asked to do. All the same, the other will sooner or later understand that we agreed only formally. It is important to learn to say “no”. This skill is about our mature position, about our adult position. Acquiring this skill is about our personal growth. Unfortunately, very few people know how to say “no.” This is just some kind of disaster in our society... And it’s important to learn this! And then it’s important to talk about how to cope with rejection in the best possible way. Otherwise, everyone will learn to say “no” (well, not just like that, but as described above, with respect, explanation, etc.), and we will not be able to accept refusals. Not in order! It is important to learn to perceive and live them correctly too! How do you cope with rejections? How do you handle a situation when you are rejected? Simple explanations, like “I don’t pay attention”, of course, are not accepted, since they can tell us little) I’m waiting for your responses! And I will continue to develop the topic I outlined in the second part of this material tomorrow! Thank you for your attention! If you liked the material, please click on “Say thanks”!
