7 Reasons Why It’s Tough to Say “Yes”
Saying “yes” in life can be just as difficult as saying “no”. We give you some of the reasons why people think twice before saying “yes” in life.
1. Self-doubt
Many a times we refrain from saying “yes” to some task because we are not sure if we can manage to do it properly. We are not mentally prepared to deal with such a task. It is okay to have self-doubt and to not be sure of your own capabilities. However, it is equally important to try and challenge yourself so that you know exactly what you are capable of.
2. Fear of commitment
We sometimes feel scared to say “yes” to a relationship or marriage because we do not want to deal with all the negative things that come with the term ‘commitment’. We feel scared that things might change for the worse once we commit to someone. Many a times this is also the result of not having enough faith in your ability to sustain your love or attachment towards the person that you are committing to.
3. Fear of failure
More often than not, it is our fear of failure that keeps us from saying “yes” to opportunities. At work, you might be offered to take on bigger responsibilities or handle projects that you have not dealt with before. Since you are so scared of failing at the job assigned to you, you would rather not attempt it.
4. Because it sounds too good to be true
Sometimes someone makes you an offer and you simply refuse it because it sounds too good to be true. Your negative self intervenes and makes you feel that there must be something more to the deal. Know that sometimes in life, things might really be as good as they sound. You will never know if you never take the risk.
