I have learned to say No even if it is against my will but I have to since if I say Yes I will sacrifice more. I do not want to sacrifice more for the others. I have done it before and guess what's happened? I suffered some consequences. Saying No may hurt others but they have to learn to accept that. I have to stand on my own. And saying No is one of them.
