When rejecting others, you can also answer by quoting famous quotes, sayings or proverbs to express your own meaning or express your opinions. The benefits of this method are obvious. It not only increases the authority and clarity of your own words, but also does not have to waste too much time on explanations and explanations, and can effectively achieve the results you want. From ancient times to the present, many thoughtful people are good at using this method to reject others.

After the husband of Princess Huyang, the sister of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu, died, she took a fancy to Song Hong, who was both good-looking and good-looking in the court. Once, Liu Xiu summoned Song Hong to talk to him: "As the saying goes, when a person's status is high, he must change his friends; when a person becomes rich, he can also change his wife. Is this human nature?" Song Hong replied: "I only heard that 'a friend in adversity should not be forgotten, and a wife of chaff should not be allowed to leave the court.' No matter whether a person lives in poverty, has a low status, or is noble, a friend cannot be forgotten, and the first wife cannot be allowed to marry him." "Leave me alone."

Song Hong knew what Liu Xiu meant, but he was in a dilemma - agreeing would violate his own character and would also be sorry for his poor and poor wife; refusing would also cause trouble for the other party. He is the king of a country; it would be inappropriate to tell him directly and risk offending Long Yan. Therefore, he quoted ancient proverbs to "state his stance" and expressed his attitude and position euphemistically and directly, which was a good way to refuse.

When refusing, you need to be strategic, reject the other person tactfully, and try not to hurt the other person's self-esteem. Let the other party understand that your rejection is out of necessity and that you feel very sorry and regretful. Try to make your rejection gentle and gentle.

U.S. consumer groups, in order to avoid being forced to buy things they don't want to buy, have issued manuals such as "How to Deal with Salesmen". It explains various ways on how to reject visiting salesmen.

It is said that the "Yes, but..." method is the most effective. For example, if the other party says, "Smell it, does it smell good?" You can say, "Yes, but..." Acknowledge the other party's statement first, and then use the excuse of "but" to deal with it. If you say "no" categorically from the beginning, the salesman will definitely not be willing to give in and will try his best to mess with you. However, if you say "yes, but", no matter how smart the other person is, there is nothing you can do about it and you have to give up trying to persuade you, because saying "yes" can give the other person a sense of peace of mind than saying "no" categorically.

When buying something, you are often pestered by the seller, and many people don’t know how to refuse. One lady rejected the seller like this: “I don’t know if this color suits my husband’s liking.”

Another young woman refused like this: “If it were my mother, I would choose what I like. That’s fine, but this is for my mother-in-law. I don’t know if she will be satisfied with this.”

Obviously, these rejections are very tactful and implicit, so it is natural to reject the other party in this way. It's much better than directly stating your dissatisfaction with the goods.

Sometimes, pretending to be confused by answering the question is also a hint of polite rejection to the other party, such as: "Can you help with this matter?"

"I have to attend an important event. Meeting." The other party will feel the true meaning from your words. If his request cannot be helped by you, he will have no choice but to withdraw.

Talking tactfully is not only a strategy, but also an art of being a human being. As a modern person, while having good eloquence and mastering the "eyesight" of euphemistic speaking, you will make fewer enemies and make more friends in interpersonal relationships.
