[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As others have said, the asking doesn't get me as much as the escalated reaction to my No. And I realize that is still not my problem but it is draining to deal with someone's intensity. [/quote] THIS! OP, have you had people take "no" really badly? I have and that has made me feel annoyed when anyone but a close friend asks a big favor. I dread dealing with some nut who cannot accept no. If they accept no graciously-No big deal! I have a sister who is a big asker and she is livid when people say no to her. She wonders why she doesn't have many true blue friends and it's in part because she burns people out. She also says no all the time to others. She feels very entitled to things, but somehow doesn't feel like she owes anyone anything. I rarely ask anyone for a favor because I want to make sure I can be there for that person and I feel indebted until I can somehow repay the favor. [/quote]
