      1. Ive gotten way off track and allowed myself to say yes to things I now regret. I’m turning things around with God’s strength and help through the word and this study. Its help me SO much I plan on going back through it again and again if I have to to get this down deep and firmly placed. This has been such a blessing I cant even begin to thank you enough.
        Stay strong stay blessed and stay diligent.

        1. I value helping out others but I am thoughtful to not be audience to people looking to blame others for there situations.
          I encourage by having prayer when someone is feeling lost and having overwhelming moments.

      2. Good morning, yes I do not wanting to hurt others , but I’m not feeling good by putting myself involved

        1. I used to avoid conflict all the time. I thought I was being kind and thoughtful. But when I realized that avoiding conflict is self-preservation and therefore selfish, (OUCH!) I had more motivation to speak up. Keeping silent for the sake of a relationship or keeping the peace is self destructive. Peter Bromberg says it well: When we avoid difficult conversation, we trade short-term discomfort for long-term dysfunction.

    1. Yes. I am always will to help and sometimes it is to overwhelming
      I have been doing much better after divorcing the covert narcissistic I was married to for 28 yrs
      I am still growing and learning. As he has all my kids sat against me and is alienating them from me.

  1. Wow I didn’t even notice how much my life is run by what others expect of me. I thought I was the dominating personality, but I really am run by others.

    1. You are not the only one! I did this quiz with a group of counselors and they were shocked by their answers. Quit the eye opener:)

    2. All i can say is that these entire class of quizzes relieves me to know that i am not the ONLIEST One. All the counseling i am doing all the praying and Lord have mercy all the reading…nothing compares to feeling like I’m grouped with other wonderful women. Eager to see God operate in our lives. Oh how i wish and pray to be in a class or meeting of yours Mrs Christy. One day. One day. It’s a shame that others i know could benefit from just reading the book. Will not. The shame is so great for some people. But not me. I’m going to tell it on that devil. I refuse to live another day in the pit. Thank you for being obedient.

      1. Ms Rose if they wont read it do it for them make a blog or leave daily post with jewels they may not read her book but if nosey like my friends they will read ur page. This is your opportunity to share what you are receiving with others. I am inspired to do just that
        I’m gonna do one for teens and one for women singles and married dealing with narcissist and self worth. I need all this help but will help my sisters otw

        1. Tamara, thank you for starting a group! I pray God’s anointing on it. Please let me know if you need any promotional materials to help spread the word.

    1. So glad! While I created the book and the plan for women, the principles are appropriate for anyone wanting to navigate healthy relationships!

  2. This the second quiz , I felt like after taking them it has me peg. But, I also feel like OMG! I have let God down so much. I love God and I do want to go to heaven some day. Help me figure this out

    1. God loves you so much Susan! He sent Jesus to die for you! If you’ve accepted God’s gift of salvation, you can’t let Him down. He remembers your sins no more!

  3. This was very helpful to get me to understand why I do/allow thingsalso helps me to understand the places I need growth in

  4. Yes Because I don’t want to hurt people fi Feelings always give hope for being so nice…. Now at 55 I say no all the time if it doesn’t make me feel Right.

    1. Carmen, it good that you’re paying attention to your feelings. Saying no when it doesn’t feel right is one of the best ways to guard your heart!

  5. Yes. I hope and I pray that I can forgive myself completely and the. Man I love forgive me. So much pain trouble i caused because of saying yes always.

  6. Hey, Mrs. Johnson, I stumbled onto your devo in my YouVersion app and I have actually done both of your tests: Soul Detox(?) and this one about Saying Yes(?). I’m actually happily married to my wife of now 21 years and..I’m not going to lie…. she is a tough cookie. But so much of the time, I feel like I’m being a burden to her because of my past toxic relationship(s), one in particular with my biological mother. My wife keeps telling me to “let it go” and I keep praying to God about it to hopefully get some kind of guidance or answer, healing if you will, from the painful longevity and abuse I endured with that relationship. My first two relationships, my ex-wife and an ex-girlfriend, I believe were also effected by my past in some significant way or another.
    So, to better understand the situation, my biological mother, Candy, was sick. She had an extremely, intense mental illness..I think a mix of anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia possibly, etc. that really messed up her ability to hold down a good relationship. One thing she used to say that stuck with me and really saddened me was, “God is an S.O.B. and I never wanna go live with him.” She really felt God had deserted her and left her for someone better. Can you believe that? Then it was, “I hate men” which has kinda molded my behavior drastically, especially with women because Lord knows that I wanna piss women off or make them hate me.
    Anyways, sorry put so much down here. I just would like some kind of input, feedback, whatever to help me come to full healing and forgiveness (for sure..) and release the bitterness and resentment I have allowed to deteriorate my heart and soul (HEB. 12:4-5). Any kind of advice would truly help. I really enjoyed the devo by the way. Thanx.

  7. Thank you very much,I am on a new journey with Christ and I wanna attract myself healthy relationships and I realised that it starts with me putting forward boundaries and being able to say NO without feeling guilty
    Today i am happy to find out that saying No is actually not a bad thing
    May God help me to stand firm in my Yes and No and my life not to be ran by other people
