Excellent advice from ehow.com:
•Invite conflict. In if you are a person whom avoids conflict you are apt to say yes even if not in agreement. This does not serve a healthy purpose for you. How many times have you ended up watching a movie you had no interest in due to saying yes? How many times have you dedicated a weekend to a cause not your own or not of your interest? When you just say yes it is a lose-lose situation. Your not being true to yourself. The other person does not get to know you and your interest. Relationships need to be built on trust and similar interest in order to truly be successful. By being true to your own interest and speaking up your conversation will be interesting also.
•Step 2
Feel free to ask others for help when needed. Sharing need allows for others to know you better and for you to feel support. The moving party I had one time was a blast. It made the pain of moving bearable. It gave a valuable amount of time where we were together, sharing and moving forward in accepting change. As strange as it sounds, inviting people to help you gives them a feeling of being important in your life. Once again it is a relationship builder. Not something to be avoided like the plague.
•Step 3
Learn to say NO. When you allow yourself to say no you are valuing yourself and your time. Friends and acquaintances understand you have limits. It is time you realize it too. If you feel something is worthy of your time, then take it on. Weigh out if you have the time or the desire and go with your decision without regret. If you are true to yourself then you will be valued and will value yourself.
