Why has it become so difficult to say 'no' in modern society?

Because of poverty?
Wealth might serve as a reflection of how well an individual has achieved independence.
Within certain social circles, a doctrine of "indebtedness" prevails meaning that no act of kindness from another person is ever perceived as truly sincere. While there is a positive side to this, fostering a strong sense of solidarity with those around you; the downside is that it leaves one feeling bound or beholden to others.

There are so many people around us who fear saying no; sometimes people think that they are more concerned about how others will see them than how their decision are going to affect their own personal life. Some people fear of losing friendship considered selfish or people get disappointed who expect something from them. This is going to make them accept responsibilities that they are not comfortably handling. Saying no to something is not wrong but that does not mean disrespecting someone or that you are refusing to help people. Simply mean that you know your limit and being honest about what you can offer to other and what you can't. When someone constantly agree to others when they know that they cannot do those things can damage the relationship over period of time and people should also need to understand that their personal peace is more important than just making people happy we should learn to help others by our own willingness rather than this being afraid of their reaction.

What do you think? Why do people often agree to what others say against their will, even after understanding it?

I have been in situations where I needed to say no, but because I don't want to sound insultive to the person I had to say yes. Sometimes, I don't feel like helping out, especially when I'm already exhausted but because I can't genuinely say no to the person or the people who needed my help I had to go help them out even when I know I'm exhausted. But, does it really make sense? Why say yes when you are supposed to say no, simply because you don't want someone to feel insulted or bad because you said no to them.

But surely there's more to that. I am thinking that i must have misunderstood something. Or do you think that people who are wealthy are saying no more often to their partners, parents and friends? I don't think that independence because of wealth is independence from people all togehter. We need each other and have always needed, and not for just salary/money. But for acceptance, company and just for teamwork. We rely on each other to survive, so your basic kindness is basically coming from evolved survival instinct.

Have you ever agreed to something that you really wanted to say no to? There are many people who agree against their will for fear of hurting others or being bad to them. We often take on responsibilities to keep others happy, which are very difficult for us to fulfill. As a result, many people experience mental stress and its impact on their personal lives. Respectfully refusing a request is also a great social skill.

Remember:

1. Do not take on any responsibility beyond your capabilities, which is never possible for you.

2. You politely tell him, you convince him that you cannot do this job perfectly.

3. It is not good to change your decision due to pressure from others.

4. Do not always think of yourself as weak and cheap.

Actually looking at the whole senero it's worth discussing if not , things are getting worst by the day the world in general is not save at all , you see , there are some situations you will fined your self once you say the truth you are putting your self more in danger, so the best way is just to lie to be free , you know this I'm saying, secondly there are some situations too you will fined your self  once you lie you are in danger , so the best thing here is just to understand very well any situation you fined your self , either the lying aspect or the truth.
Thirdly there are also situations that you don't have to lie but just say the truth at all times , say it nothing much the thing is that many people with there actitude the society we live has already changed most of us our mental health and thinking, many lies when they are not even supposed to, why many there Truth are just lies because of mental stress, so in addition life is not easy especially those who came from Nigeria a place of lawless, people are just making sure they eat , that's the more reason police and military men many of them are not even saying the truth anymore just to feel better in the society because the society is not longer okay for anyone, the best thing is to understand any situations you fined your self so that you can fert in.

This is not just peculiar to the modern society but has always been the case from way back. people generally wants to be accepted by others and the easiest way to get that level of acceptance is by agreeing to most of the opinion that they hold. One of the ways to show that you are dealing with the right people is by going in the opposite direction that they are going. if they feel attack or attack you for not agreeing to their stand or view of things, then you can bet that all along, the relationship has been one sided. If someone agrees to everything you tell them, they are not a valuable person to start with.
