I admit that I am pushover. The only way I know I can elude situations in which I should say no is steerring away from them...and pray to God they don´t follow me! I´ve got this irrational need to be liked by everyone, even by those i don´t like or want to have any contact with. But I´ve had to put up with a lot of unfairness coming from my bosses or subordinates when i culd have stuck to my guns and say no with no risk or real damage in my job-I just gave in so I would seem nice to those who were nasty/deadbeats/ambitious or cheeky.
How can I learn to be assertive and say no withour sounding hysterical or pitiful?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
