This isn’t a promise, but…” Another alternative to the default yes is to make it clear that you aren’t making any promises, but you’ll see what you can do. This is simple and effective, but it’s easy to use it too much and start to sound like an asshole who doesn’t have the balls to stand up for himself and say no. Don’t Be Superman to Everyone You don’t have to go around saving everyone from their problems. If you do this, then how will they ever learn to fend for themselves? By taking on problems that belong to other people, you’re unfairly robbing them of a chance to grow and to learn self-reliance. What it really comes down to is limiting your exposure. It’s a very masculine thing to be able to say that you’ll do something and then to be able to reliably do it, but this reputation will be torn apart if you simply say yes to too many things. Limit the things that you give your word on, and you’ll have fewer times that you come up short. Your word will have a lot more meaning this way, and people will respect you more as a man.
