So many true words here and in the responses. My particular ‘denials' arr:
- Putting others’ needs first at the expense of my own feelings.
- Not saying ‘no’ to requests, and then getting annoyed with myself as I’ve wasted half the day on things I didn’t want to do in the first place at the expense of those I did.
- Being talked over and not saying anything about it because I don’t want to hurt the other person’s feelings or being seen as a nuisance.
Politeness and putting others’ feelings first were paramount when I was growing up — that’s where most of these come from. Anything else would just NOT do!
