If you'd really like to do whatever it is they ask of you, great! The problem is when you refexatively say 'yes' to any and every invitation or request which is put to you, whether or not you want to say yes.
It's so easy to get into a cycle where you stop one day and realise that you are pleasing everyone but yourself. People could also start to take your courtesy as a weakness and start abusing your giving nature to get their own way all the time.
Why is it so hard to say no? You know that 'yes' is what the person wants to hear, but what is your reason for being unable to say it?
It could be that you fear rejection or disapproval.
Once you have figured out your reason for not wanting to say no, you should be able to summon the courage to come straight out and just say it.
