Basically, I tend to yield to the dominant type A personalities. But when everyone is a type B, elements of type A come out in me or nobody makes a decision and nothing gets done.

I think I do that a lot, too.

When it's me that wants something, I'm not very good at guessing the answer I'll get so I try to do more asking than guessing. It's harder to do, but certainly more direct.

Generally I don't have a problem with saying "no" to a request but once in a while something nags at me. I don't explain my no; like others have said, there's no point. Except with a few people who actually want to know why. It's getting easier as I get older, too, to say no.
