Sure, I can do that.

I have a serious issue saying no to people... I'll litterly bend over backwards to make things more convient for others, regardless of how it affects me. But latley I have been feeling so unappreciated and it sucks. I bit the bullet and said no to someone the other day, and I immedtly felt awful, I know I need to work on being more assertive and putting myself first but its so hard. It is just extremly difficult, I realize I am not perfect by and means, but I would like to think I am a generally goodhearted individual. So it sucks to give and give and give, and then get shit on. It's not like I expect anything in return, but it would be nice to feel like I have someone who would help me out in a jam, espicially after all of the things I've done for others.

Please don't feel bad when you say no to someone. Can you find a book on being assertive? Just because you say no doesn't mean the other person thinks any less of you. I would rather people were honest. Of course, being honest and saying no come easier the older you get......think of it like the anti-drug programs in elementary school. The asker is the drug pusher and you are the kid "JUST SAY NO"
