Praise Yourself for This

3. Praise yourself for saying No when others try to exploit you. If some requests conflict with your interests and values, it's completely normal to say a firm 'no' to them. This way, you save time, energy, and money, and prevent others from exploiting you. A person who values their resources and doesn't waste them on others without clear necessity may be called selfish. But these accusations can be confidently addressed to those who want to shift their chores onto others and overwhelm them with inappropriate requests.
