    Okay, but just how many of you can say no to a person easily? This applies to anything; not just smoking.
     
    Sure I say No if there's something that makes me uncomfortable. Like, if it's a situation I'd rather not be in (a friend inviting me to get high when I was younger), or if someone is hitting on me and I don't like it, etc. I usually seem hesitant, and then just plain ol' say no, since I'm not gonna just.. go along with it. lol
     
    I have a problem saying "no" exactly, mostly because I often feel guilty saying no unless I have a very good and logical reason attached. Just feeling "off" in any way or just plain not wanting to do something doesn't count. Although then that goes into a rather impassive "eh I dunno maybe not", and then it might just go downhill from there.

    Mostly for people in real life, though. I have a slightly easier time online for whatever reason.
     
    It really depends on the situation. Most times, I prefer explaining to a person why something can't be done. It's hard to just flat out say no and risk making them feel bad. To my parents though, it's much easier to say. It usually depends on the person more than anything.
     
    I love trying new things, making people happy and going along with whatever. Needless to say, I'm not much of a "no" guy - although it's not that I can't say it; I just very rarely do. Despite this if I think something shouldn't happen or I don't want to do something I can be very very difficult to get a "yes" out of. I think it's a good place to be in though; it's important to be able to say no when you need to but saying yes whenever you can is much more fun and makes life so much easier.

    also I think there are much more significant things to say no to than smoking, haha
     
    After being a moderator of a battle server where you are faced with the question, "May I have a room pls sir ? " every day I have found it rather easy to tell people no. That said, I am generally open to all ideas and wont say no without exploring the possibilities.
     
    I used to be someone who said yes to lots of things, or at least I didn't say no. Then I learned to say no a lot more, but now I've gone too far in that direction and I say it so much that it's become off-putting to lots of people.

    pls post more selifes in the Behind the Screens thread. I missed them and they apparently caused crazy hype.

    Anyways, I can say no to someone with relative ease, if I need to. Cute girls and drinking, not necessarily simultaneously, are my kryptonite, though. I become much more of a Yes Man when either of those elements are involved.
     
    I say it easily. Not to say I don't like trying new things, but it is pretty impossible to get me to do something I don't want to do. I'm incredibly lazy, stubborn and not afraid of conflict, plus I can be pretty selfish at times. If I feel like I owe someone a favor, or something of that nature, maybe I can be persuaded depending on my mood... I can be pretty easily bribed tho, if it's with something I actually want. Otherwise, good luck. ;/
     
    I used to not be able to say no at all, but I've fixed that over the years. My friends understand that I need my alone time, so if I say no, it's not that I don't like them. I might say it too much, but I'm starting to open up a bit more. However, I'll avoid uncomfortable situations with all of my might, so I'll still say no quite a bit.
     
    I don't find it hard to say no to anyone. That doesn't mean I'm a no person, but just that I don't have a hard time turning down something that I don't want to do or shouldn't do.
     
    It varies with the person, and also what they're asking me about/trying to get me to do.. If the subject/task is making me uncomfortable, the person is pestering me about it, or I simply just don't feel up to it, then I don't have much of a problem with letting them know and explaining why. But I'll admit that I usually feel bad for saying no to someone, especially my friends or S.O. when they just want to spend time with me. I don't want to seem like a stick in the mud, so I'll usually try to make it up to them somehow after a while.
