I have struggled with saying no all my life until I had no choice but to face it and be comfortable with being uncomfortable.

However, no matter how firm we are, there are always people who will never accept our no, no matter how genuine and rational we are.

First, they will try to explain why it's a bad idea. Then, they will try to scare us about the consequences. And after that, they will try to take revenge by hurting us.

Sticking to our no with dignity is much harder than saying it. But it's a worthy emotional investment.
