How to avoid saying No when you dont need to say!

In our daily life's let us say whether it is in office or at home many times you need not express your opinion bluntly and strongly. You will be taken as harsh person even though you are very kind at heart.

This is an important skill in inter personal skills and unfortunately it is never taught in school or mentioned by our elders. Some people easily picks this skill but for people like me it takes life time to practice this.

Lets take a simple situation lunch time in your office, every one are having their lunch and discussing some topics and discussion steered towards a recently released movie. Most of the group likes it but you didn't liked some aspects of the movie which are important to you. You have shared your thought on the same. Here group may just take it and continue or some one can further dissect your idea or thought. This is fine, here is the thin line; you should not get offended by others opinion on your opinion. If you just let the comment go then the discussion stops there it self, but if you start taking it seriously and start using more strong words and emotions then people may understand you wrongly and take this response as negative memory. Where in people may avoid you or may have created wrong opinion on you which is not at all needed. This further may effect work relationship and work.
