My Nonexistent Refusal Skills

My refusal skills are pretty much non-existent. I grew up in a small town where most people say yes. Others use words like no, absolutely not, not my clowns. I say okay almost immediately to any request coming my way. For where I grew up anyone who said no was labelled a trouble maker. An outcast, a do-badder, I know it is crazy, but I really do want my reputation for being a pushover fully intact.
