Why do people keep asking you to do things that you tell them you cannot do?

Because they in someway think they are helping you. Most people can not famthom something that doesn't or is happening to them. Stop explaining why and just say don't feel like it today, but thanks.............

Some people want to ask you "your opinion" on many things in life.  Then when you offer it, they want to argue with you about your opinion.  What they really wanted wasn't your opinion, but rather for you to agree with them on their opinion.\n\nI have told a person more than once who wanted to argue with me about an opinion, "Hey, you asked me my opinion and I gave it to you.  I'm comfortable with you not agreeing with me.  Why can't you be comfortable with me not agreeing with you?"

Because authority means power and people more powerful than you are naturally intimidating. Plus you can't do anything about them because they think they're better than you and often they can punish you.

What are you trying to persuade someone to do? \nI don't see how this can be.

Because they don't want to just HAND you answers.  They want to make you think for yourself first, and explore all the options, and if you still don't reach the answer, they tell it to you.\n\nLearn to think.

You can't make anyone do anything they don't want to do. Be patient. If he wants you to know, he will tell you in his time line.

avoid them and hang around with better people (thoses who are you friends no questions asked). also stop letting them use you can also be attempted so that they will get the hint and get lost.

When they never want to just hang out without needing anything other than your companionship. If they always seem to come up with a way you can help them out and they don't ever seem to want to offer to go out of their way to do something for you then you have a pretty good idea that whether they realize it or not, they are just using you like a resource.

Stay polite, but don't hang around them if you don't want to.  You have the right to say no.  If they say they want to do something, say you have a previous commitment.  (Even if it's to yourself!)

One response you can give is to smile and say, "Why do you ask?"  Sometimes you can then ask them the same question they asked you.  The key is to not get upset about it.  If they were trying to annoy you on purpose, they get annoyed because you aren't annoyed.  And thus, they cannot take advantage of you.\n\nIf the asker is very sincere, a better response might be, "That's something that I don't feel comfortable answering."  They're likely to appreciate the honesty.

try helping them....get you off...tell them what you like, don't like....because if you don't tell them they won't know..so they will do it how they like it which may be not what you like.

just ask them in a polite way first by saying "excuse me but this is important , please allow me to finish" and if they persist then you have the right to walk away from them and continue your conversation elsewhere or if they persist you can tell them in a more angered way (in a nonviolent way of course)

Yes when weird things like that happen I keep walking too.  Some people make it a practice to learn everyone's name around them even when there is no good reason too.  Maybe they want to befriend you for strange reasons.

You don't you go somewhere and let them do it because if you don't you can hurt yourself badly

It's called the bystander effect. Someone always thinks that someone else will do it, so no one ever really does it.

well give that person a answer and tell your friend to stop the next time you will ask that person
