Everyone has one thing that people can use to get to them. A lot of people call it weak point and that is what I am familiar with too. It’s just like a kind of situation when you may not be able to resist whatever it can be. That’s exactly what weak point means.
I know for sure that you have your weak point and I have mine too. Some people won’t be able to say sorry, some can’t say no, some get too emotional on everything and it can be just anything at all. What’s my weak point?
I can’t say no
I’m not living to impress people but there is a way I feel when someone turns me down. Even though I don’t wish the person bad, I always have some kind of sad feeling in me just because I had turned someone down and that’s exactly the way it will look for me.
I so much dislike to offend people even though sometimes I don’t really care but me telling someone No will make me feel they are offended and I’m even too shy to say no. Instead of saying No I’d rather try another method or trying to say it indirectly. I mean, my body language is surely going to tell you that I don’t want this thing.
Let me give you an example. There is a woman who comes to my shop and to be very honest, she buys a lot of goods. She started buying on credit and always made sure that she pays me on time. At some point, her debt was becoming too much for me to handle and I could not tell her that I will no longer sell goods on credit to her. Instead, I began to hide some particular goods that I know she buys very well so she will just assume that we don’t have them since she can’t find it in shop.
I’m glad she was able to understand my body language so she always made sure that her debt rate was minimal and I could cope with that.
Unfortunately, some of my customers may not understand my body language so they believe they can just do anyhow they like. Some of them will even understand it ignore since I didn’t tell them with my mouth.
Also, if I ever want to say No, I always say it in a rude manner because me wanting to say No inside of me is ready to offend the person plus the fact that I can be an angry bird and maybe temperamental at times.
I’m really trying hard to work on saying No without me having to think that I have offended someone and also without me having to say it in a rude manner.
I understand the fact that people may not always like or support my proposal and I’m sure by the time I begin to say No, a lot of people will understand it from my angle too.
