How do you say no and not hurt anyones feelings?

Answer 1

Rejection is hard on some people so it may not matter how nice you are in saying no. However, there is no way around it...if you need to say no, then don't be afraid of how you do it. Just be polite and tell them you don't want to hurt their feelings or ruin a friendship. If this is about a person who asks you out on a date, just tell them you aren't interested right now. It is hard to answer this question unless I know what you need to say no to.

Answer"How do you say no in a good way to someone?"

It is not a matter of rejection. It is a matter of being honest.

Just open up your mouth and say NO. That simple.

AnswerI say to the girl that i am not saying you are my type or not, and you may even be my type if i were interested but im not.

There is a girl in my school which is calling me hot and cuddling me and trying to edge me closer but i said the above and it may upset her a little that not in love with her but hopefully, it makes her feel better you not saying if she is your type or not.

Answer 2

There is no way one can say no without hurting someone's feelings. You could tell them you like them as a friend and would like to go for a coffee (or a hang-out young people frequent) and make it a little easier on them. Personally, I find honesty and moving on the best policy.

Answer 3

"No." Just like that. It doesn't matter if their feelings are hurt. You do not owe anyone anything, remember that. No is a complete sentence & it does not require any justification or explanation. If their feelings are hurt, oh well.

Answer 4

If the request is from someone you work with or know casually and they are asking for your time/help/money. Unless it is part of your job description or will impact on your future with the company a simple. I'm sorry, I am unable to do/give that. You do not need, nor should you elaborate.

If however the request comes from someone close to you and it is for for your time, your best response is to say "I'm sorry, I can not attend." or, "I'm sorry, I have plans for that day/evening."

If the request is for money or financial help, then "I'm sorry, my/our budget can't stretch that far" If you still feel obliged to help then offer to help them plan another solution. Much as it is hard to say no to anyone, more and more I find people turning to others to bail them out of troubles they got themselves into. Money has loaned/borrowed money has ruined more friendships and family relations than any other singlr thing I can think of.

Remember, an understanding friend knows that saying no to a request is not saying no to the friendship.

Answer 5

Just find a way around, like; 'Sorry, I have to attend a family birthday.'

Or just play it fair and tell him that you are not interested.
