Helping others is commendable, but there is a risk that you may be taken advantage of.
At the same time, you cannot put other people's priorities above your own.
Let's figure out how to politely refuse someone who asks for something and not feel guilty about refusing.
For example, if you are asked to take a photo together, you can simply refer to the fact that you do not feel confident enough to do so.
If you are invited to an optional business meeting, be sure to thank them for the honor. And then politely decline, giving some excuse.
If a colleague at work asks you, then it is better to refer to relevant specialists who can provide assistance better than you.
A refusal can also be turned into a compliment. For example, say how flattered you are that they turned to you for help, and not to someone else.
Remember the main thing: don't be afraid to say "no" and don't make excuses under any circumstances. Refusal is your right, and therefore using it is in the order of things.
