Afraid of hearing the word 'No'?

Sounds like you two have a lot in common...basically wanting someone, but yet not to get hurt again. See if you can take her out and tell her that you really do like her and have like her for the past couple of months, but like her are looking for someone special and are afraid of being hurt. You respect her decision of not dating just to be dating, b/c once again you are looking for someone special to make your life complete. Pray to God for the strength to approach the situation with honor and dignity. Don't ever be afraid of no, b/c you never know until you ask. Keep your head up and your confidence high, you sound like a terrific sweet gentleman and I wish you and her both luck! God Bless!

No you may not.  I will only allow it if you call it quandaphobia\nwith a "u".   Just my 10 cents worth on coining words.

No.  And when I say "no" I mean "yes."

When you say NO, it means no.  It doesn't matter if you agreed with it and then changed your mind, once you said no, he should have stopped.  Even if you had said that you wanted to do it and then changed your mind, It is HIS FAULT for not listening, not yours.  You need to go to the hospital and tell somebody.  They will not judge you and will help you.  If you don't speak up it could happen to someone else.\n\nYou are in my thoughts.  A doctor can help you call the proper authorities and they can get these creeps off the street.\nI am sorry this happened to you, but you are not alone in this.  Sad as it may seem, It happens all the time.

it is like saying YES but shaking your head NO. Or rubbing your belly and patting your head and then switching hands and doing it again. Not really but it is fun to try!! Good luck. (Can you touch your tongue to your nose?)

The best way would be to not put yourself in a position where it would be hard for you to say no.  Go to public places, have other people around you - that way you are not tempted to do anything.  Keep yourself busy by doing other things that interest you.

IMHO, it's really great that you are self-aware enough to notice this. many people go to sleep at night with the television blaring and it's usually because they can't stand the noise (their own thoughts) in their head and so they can't sleep otherwise. this is not healthy.\n\nif you are terrified of silence, you should probably ask yourself why. what would be the worst thing that would happen? perhaps you might find that you don't like some of the decisions you have made in life. that would be good to know now instead of later in life when the cost of a bad decision will just snowball into a huge avalanche.\n\ni wouldn't recommend that you meditate so that you can be OK with the silence although that's not a bad idea. but it might be a good idea to go out to the beach or the woods or somewhere safe where you can look at everything around you and soak it in and don't bring your iPod. just listen to the sound of nature and see if you can't hear silence between your ears. most of the time my "inner voice" is saying lots of stuff and i have been able to sort out the good from the bad and most of it is bad (as in being too self-critical), but the good stuff can save your life or your personal happiness. the good stuff might be something like "this is the fifth time that person has canceled on me and i haven't done anything like that to them; i'm going to find someone else who won't waste my time." or "man, i really did a good job on that thing the other day. how can i use that in a good way to further build my career/relationship/whatever."\n\nif you can tune into to what's going on between your ears, then you have made a really huge step. some people can never do this because they are numb. they can't tell you how they are feeling and that's a shame. they should make more trips to the beach or wherever makes them happy and give themselves the opportunity to sort themselves out.\n\nif you can get to a point where there isn't any noise at all and you have no fear of silence and there is a smile on your face, then you have reached a particularly good level of enlightenment. enjoy it. anything worthwhile can be yours at that point.\n\ni hope this helps.

Dear Simply Say I Dont NO

Don't mind answering the phone--can't stand to hear it ring off the hook--but I have what I call "phonophobia" about making telephone calls. I hate to pick up the phone to dial out. Comes from years of using telephone in my professional life when it seemed I was always calling someone. Now, I just avoid it. In fact I've about 10 calls I need to make now that I've not been able to do. Often, I ask my wife, who likes to talk on the phone, to make calls for me, and she makes most of my appointments now. Remember, "phonophobia," the dread of making phone calls.

the responses you got till now are screaming "no".\nsorry i do not practice it either. can you tell me about it?
859677
yes i did and i know why you do, your probably have a huge fear of being embarrassed in front of a lot of people or worried about what people think  if you say or do something silly or make a mistake when your talking  or something along them lines.When you with one person its OK but when you have a lot of eyes staring at you when you make a mistake its a horrible feeling! i used to be afraid to talk in class when i thought people would laugh at my voice,comment or answer 2 something . But thank God i don't have that problem now, you just have 2 tell yourself whats the worst that can happen speaking in a group? your not going to get hurt or die maybe you might be laughed at but It will all be forgotten in a few days time. So my advise to you is just try to be more strong minded and don't care what anyone thinks of you,  life is to short to let other people dictate it or ruin it.:-) hope this helps.peace.

All signs point to "No"

No, it is not necessary. \n(Nor was it necessary for the person to put "no" so many times)

when your in a safe place where you have no fear wear a blindfold. it sounds silly but it really will help plus it gives you a sense you never even knew you had. the more you do it the better you will understand that there is nothing to fear but fear itself.
