Say NO and stand by it:

Do not act like you are scared when you are being approached, always wear that look that whenever someone sees you, they will be convinced that your refusal is sure. Say NO and stand by it.

Always make sure you take the right decision and equally stand by it. Don’t allow yourself to be the kind of human, who can be persuaded into doing what you don’t feel comfortable doing.

Back up your NO with positive statements:

Don’t just say no and stop there. For example, if you’re turning down an offer to smoke, say something like, “No! I like my brain the way it is and I don’t want to damage it, thank you. With that, you have already discouraged the person.

Always repeat yourself:

Don’t hesitate to state your point over and over again, the more you resist, the more you convince yourself and the more you drive them away.
