The Importance of Saying No

Saying no is crucial for individuals with ADHD, as impulsivity often leads to agreeing to commitments that do not align with personal values or priorities. Many struggle to establish a clear vision for their lives, which can result in lack of boundaries and direction, causing them to say yes to everything that seems interesting or urgent. This tendency is exacerbated by discomfort with potential negative reactions from others, making it even harder to reject requests. Understanding the significance of saying no can empower individuals to reclaim control over their choices and prioritize what truly matters to them.
