Saying ‘no’ to something you are uncomfortable with is never mean.

Saying ‘no’ to something you are uncomfortable with is never mean.

What's the number one reason?
People say yes when they want to say no.
Pity is it.
And they don't think it's pity in the moment.
They think it is, I don't want to disappoint my partner.
They're not calling it pity.
They're calling it I don't want to disappoint my partner because somebody taught them that saying no is mean.
Saying no is not mean.
It's one of the kindest things you will ever do for yourself.
And your partner, because you're actually being honest with your partner.
I just didn't jump up the other day and go,
I don't care if it's mean, which is a great response, oh, by the way.
Because life is not about being nice.
I'd rather know you were respectful than nice.
Because how many green nice can be fake?
If you agree that's possible, see as it is.
Yeah, so we want to be real, right?
Huge, huge difference.
