Do you have any issues with saying “no” to things or people? One person in the group talked about overidentifying with others’ needs, and often trying to meet others’ needs, to their own personal detriment. Do you experience anything like that?

ummmm – YES!! And I really need to be able to say “NO!” more!! I get myself trapped into commitments by saying ‘yes’ – and then struggle with the fact that I “can’t” back out of it because I committed to it already. And I say “yes” many times because I don’t want to let someone else down in the moment.
I’ve gotten better at saying “no” – but it’s still a struggle area. And in fact I’ll be paying for it again soon! (the fact that I said “yes” to something).
