April 24, 2009 5:44 pm at 5:44 pm #1080225kapustaParticipant
mepal, its not really not being able to say no, just that after feeling guilty about saying no.
AOB, it’s wanting to do it for the other person, but not something hes gonna regret, (small stuff,) but wheres the dividing line between the nice guy and being used?
April 24, 2009 5:44 pm at 5:44 pm #1080226moish01Memberwhat’s the difference? a nice guy has his once in a while when he’s not so nice. a pushover always seems nice – he can NEVER say no. the nice guy is human and has to stand up for himself once in a while.
April 24, 2009 5:48 pm at 5:48 pm #1080227charlie brownMemberkapusta,
there was a similar discussion starting with this post:

April 24, 2009 6:08 pm at 6:08 pm #1080228an open bookParticipantkapusta: if it’s really small stuff that doesn’t make a difference to him & he doesn’t mind, he’s just nice. (if it interferes with what he has to do, possibly being used.)
moish: his “once in a while” could be a limit you had never hit, & then you wouldn’t know that he would stand up for himself if he felt like it.
April 24, 2009 6:17 pm at 6:17 pm #1080229moish01Memberno, i don’t mean he plans on doing it once in a while. it just happens. could happen five times in one day, and then he’s “nice” for two weeks and never says “no.”
i think i’m a nice guy. in general, i try to be. but you think i’m ALWAYS like that? i’m a person – i couldn’t possibly negate myself completely and become a doormat. there are guys that are doormats, though. i feel really bad for them.
April 24, 2009 6:32 pm at 6:32 pm #1080230kapustaParticipantmoish I think the pushover part of the question is more like being used.
charlie, thanx for the link!
April 24, 2009 6:37 pm at 6:37 pm #1080231an open bookParticipantmoish: not sure what you’re saying about the timing. i think it probably has more to do with the situation & what he’s being asked to do than how many times he’s said no.
but that’s good.
& yeah, some people have to learn to stand up for themselves.

I don’t think anyone’s condoning the pushover. It’s perfectly normal for even the nicest person to sometimes say no. A person who always says yes and allows himself to be used, is usually lacking the confidence to say no because he’s afraid of what ppl will say/think of him.

April 24, 2009 6:56 pm at 6:56 pm #1080233kapustaParticipantanonymisss, not really anything to do with the case I’m thinking of, but what about someone who wont say no because hes afraid of hurting someone?
April 24, 2009 7:03 pm at 7:03 pm #1080234an open bookParticipantkapusta: is he always, or is it a one time thing?
April 24, 2009 7:08 pm at 7:08 pm #1080236kapustaParticipantthat was a random thing, but I think my friend has something like this, in that case, it’s on a regular basis.
April 24, 2009 7:40 pm at 7:40 pm #1080237JaxMemberrandom question:
do the mods made an early or late shobbos? ok i’m kidding i’ll be off in a few minutes!

April 24, 2009 9:19 pm at 9:19 pm #1080244April 26, 2009 1:18 am at 1:18 am #1080245anonymisssParticipantI meant that if a person is regularly saying yes to do things for others, despite the fact that his/her life is being disrupted by it, I do think that’s an issue. Of course, though, I would really have to know the person to give you an opinion and since you’re the only one here who knows him/her, only you can determine that.
Hope this is more clear than before.

April 26, 2009 1:39 am at 1:39 am #1080246kapustaParticipantsituation: not personal but very much relates. If someone calls someone to talk and the person doesn’t have the time/effort to help how she’s able to (and doesn’t feel shes helping), is it better to tell the person to find someone else if she will likely be hurt?
April 26, 2009 3:29 am at 3:29 am #1080247an open bookParticipantkapusta: not sure if this is what you meant, but a way that’s nicer than just “you should ask someone else” is suggesting a particular person that you think might be able to help them.
April 26, 2009 6:52 am at 6:52 am #1080248kapustaParticipantAOB, but wouldn’t most people just understand what you’re really trying to say, like I don’t have time/patience to deal with you now?
April 26, 2009 3:28 pm at 3:28 pm #1080249an open bookParticipantkapusta: when you give a specific suggestion, you are kind of saying “i don’t have the capability (time/patience) to deal with you now, but i still care & want to help out as much as i can” – in this case, the most you can do is refer them to where they can get more help.
April 26, 2009 5:37 pm at 5:37 pm #1080250aussieboyParticipantWhy are people upset during weekdays because it is not yet the weekend and upset on the weekends because they need to go back to work after it is over when you can be so happy if you just be excited because it is almost the weekend and on the weekends be happy because it is not a weekday and you dont need to work?
April 26, 2009 8:19 pm at 8:19 pm #1080251an open bookParticipantaussie: some people just don’t know how to appreciate what they have. right now i’m appreciating my weekend though 🙂
April 26, 2009 9:19 pm at 9:19 pm #1080252anonymisssParticipantaussie, wow, that was complicated! but i get what you mean. Same as why does nobody <not Nobody> appreciate what I do until I don’t do it. People like to find things to grumble about, it’s human nature.
To be really philosophical, if we would be satisfied with things the way they were, what would drive us to accomplish things?

April 27, 2009 12:03 am at 12:03 am #1080253an open bookParticipantanonymisss: aren’t we supposed to be satisfied with what physical stuff we have, but never feel like we’re done spiritually?
April 27, 2009 1:00 am at 1:00 am #1080254anonymisssParticipantgood point, AOB. I think that everything that we have in the physical is supposed to be a reflection of the spiritual. The physical is a model for us of the spiritual. Sounds right to you?

April 27, 2009 1:23 am at 1:23 am #1080255anonymisssParticipanthey, moish, to be very on topic, this is a REALLY random question. How’s your foot doing these days?

April 27, 2009 3:33 am at 3:33 am #1080261coke not pepsiMemberand jax how is your leg(or was it hand? or wait was that qwerty?)

April 27, 2009 11:57 am at 11:57 am #1080263an open bookParticipantjax: hey you’re right! that’s good
random question: how do people who (particularly) don’t like to be the center of attention deal with their own weddings?
April 27, 2009 1:29 pm at 1:29 pm #1080264mepalMemberAOB: They dance in the outside circle.lol.
April 27, 2009 10:42 pm at 10:42 pm #1080265JaxMemberan open book: when it’s their special night, they deal with it just fine!
April 27, 2009 11:29 pm at 11:29 pm #1080266an open bookParticipantjax: like how?
April 27, 2009 11:32 pm at 11:32 pm #1080267JaxMemberan open book: there’s just so happy they no longer care it!
April 27, 2009 11:54 pm at 11:54 pm #1080268kapustaParticipantAOB, you should only have such problems (at the right time!) people do dance in the “main” circle and anyway, you would probably be enjoying yourself and realizing what a special occasion it is that you wouldn’t be self-conscious. Are you planning anything we should know about?
Jax, how come CNP got an answer and I didn’t? 😉
April 28, 2009 12:27 am at 12:27 am #1080269aussieboyParticipantAOB: Im usually in the outside circle if dancing at all, but by my sisters wedding I was dancing almost the entire time and in the inner circle for quite a while. When its something that really makes you happy you somehow get over being in the center and you just dance without caring what people think.
April 28, 2009 1:43 am at 1:43 am #1080271kapustaParticipantaussie, you phrased it very well.

April 28, 2009 1:45 am at 1:45 am #1080272an open bookParticipant72? where’s my post? i can’t think of any problem with it…
April 28, 2009 1:46 am at 1:46 am #1080273JaxMemberkapusta: your random question seemed too complicated to me! sorry about that!
April 28, 2009 1:50 am at 1:50 am #1080274kapustaParticipantJax, which question? about the difference between using someone and being a nice guy? I was talking about your comment to CNP about your ankle.
April 28, 2009 1:51 am at 1:51 am #1080275an open bookParticipanti didn’t mean dancing, just in general – it’s all about them, isn’t it?
April 28, 2009 1:52 am at 1:52 am #1080276kapustaParticipantAOB, yea but you’re all caught up in the action and davening, theres probably no time to think about it.
April 28, 2009 1:53 am at 1:53 am #1080277JaxMemberkapusta: now i’m confused! what didn’t i answer you about?
April 28, 2009 2:00 am at 2:00 am #1080278JaxMemberkapusta: yeah that one, i came in in middle of the discussion & was lost!
