​​​​​​Reasons for using the skill, Accepting "No" for an Answer:
You will be told “No” many times in your life. Getting angry and upset only leads to more problems. If you are able to appropriately accept a “No” answer, people might be more likely to say “Yes” to your requests in the future.

Don’t stare, make faces or look away. If you are upset, control your emotions. ​Try to relax and stay calm. Listening carefully will help you understand what the other person is saying.

Answer right away and speak clearly. Take a deep breath if you feel upset.
Don’t ask for a reason every time or you will be viewed as a complainer.

People will think you are serious about wanting to know a reason if you ask for one calmly. Don’t keep asking for reasons after you receive one. Use what you learn in these situations in the future.
​

Take some time to plan how you are going to approach the person who told you “No.”
Plan in advance what you are going to say. Accept the answer, ​even if it is still “No.” Be sure to thank the person for listening. At least you had the opportunity to share your opinion.
