Better to say no and be called a jerk, than saying yes and regretting it.

I have to remind myself to say "no" to toxic people at work and family especially when they disregard my feelings, unwanted, negative self talk, comparisons. Say "yes" to growth, to healing, to being brave, bold, determined. Say "no" waiting, to other people's opinions, or shrinking yourself to fit in.

I just want to take a moment to specifically thank everyone at Psych2Go for bringing awareness to mental health topics. Thank you so much for everything you do guys! We appreciate you!

This includes family. Biggest lesson of my life.
Is better just to walk away from all toxic people even if that means spending holidays alone.

I left a 26 year marriage because I spent too many years praying to die. I feel so much better now. Much happier. I'm learning and I'm growing.

This is so easy to fall into at work especially. Since they are your coworkers, you can't walk away the same way. I had a coworker who was toxic and narcissistic, and it was hard to say no to that person, since they were manipulative.
What I did, was to think about what would really be the consequences of saying no? If it's that person's responsibility to do that task at work, what would I benefit from it? The answer was most often nothing.
I still have a hard time saying no, but when I do say no when a toxic person who wants me to do something for their own benefit, it really boosts your confidence.
Thank you for this channel! It really makes you aware of your own self worth. ❤

When i decided i had enough of working for someone else, i set myself free with my own hours and clients. It definitely feels awesome to have Faith in yourself for advancement

The art style is very pleasing to the eye. The character design and colors are very lovely😄

I have learned the importance of saying no in the last year. I have also learned that you dont owe people explanations for saying no. No is a complete sentence in and of itself

[christrudell]

As I get older I've removed toxic people. I'm just not as naive as I used to be. Thanks 👍🇨🇦

Say no to
1.Negative and toxic people
2. People you make you scared
3. Who disregard your feelings
4. Situations that makes you feel unwanted
5. Negative self- talk - does no good
6. Comparing yourself- everyone has flaws and strengths
7. Bad partners
8. Resisting growth and healing and development
9. Needless waiting
10. Letting other people's opinion determine your worth, ---everything you hear about yourself is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective.
11. Shrinking yourself to fit-in
Saying NO is a valuable skill.
Keep practicing.

When I heard "how many opportunities you wasted for not believing in yourself"....it got me thinking...it really hit hard

[joegongora]

If someone doesn't accept no for an answer, that's someone that's seeking to control you. You have a right to speak-out than to suffer in silence. Only controlling individuals will get bent out of shape if you speak out. Those are individuals that don't value you or respect your decision.

I had seen many channels and many so called motivational videos that forced some introverts like us to convert into but I believe this is the first channel to let others know the real power of introverts .. and embrace everyone in their own character and personality type only. ... Isn't it?
I feel like It can't have haters !!

4 years ago I said "no more" to a family so toxic that I was having migraines and seizures. My neurologist finally figured out the cause when I moved away; the physical symptoms stopped completely.

I always had a hard time to say no, so this extremely helpful

[TheNekoPie]

I think these videos really can help me to become the best version of myself. Sometimes I see the things I do that are bad but also what people do that is bad ... Hope I don't see things that really aren't there

[nekogumi]

For me saying no to people or situations is really complicated, i tend to put other before me and is really hard when i have my mental health on the line because of it. One of the most hard thing i had to say no was a interview for a good job this summer, i felt like i was doing something wrong, my mother was upset with me and i didn´t know if i did right. But for my mental health i kept my decision and hearing someone say is okay to do that for my mental health is all i need it to hear, so thank you for helping and i hope you keep with the good work, love you

I said no to a 14 hour shift yesterday
