No is no! You don't feel comfortable, you don't want to do something you tell them no never do anything you don't want and if they don't like the answer no well they are not worth your time.

Make it clear that you understand that they really want you to do this, but stand your ground and tell them that you don't want to. No explanation needed. No means no.

Explain to them that you don't want to do it and ask them how they would feel if someone wanted them to do something when they didn't want to. Ask them to put themselves in your shoes.

You should never do something you are not comfortable with. Just be honest, because you do not want to be forced into something that is not for you.

You tell them regardless, do not be afraid to disappoint when your wellbeing is on the line. Toxic relationships and friends can be the worst and you should cut them out of your life, even if it hurts for a while.

The best way to tell anyone anything is to be completely honest about it. If you do not want to do something because it goes against morals, or just makes you feel uncomfortable, tell them exactly that. If someone is trying to get you to dive into a pool, but you know you can't swim, tell them exactly that. Being honest is always the way to go

Know what you are and aren't comfortable doing. If there is something you don't want to do, be firm. If they truly respect you, they won't force you to do something you aren't comfortable with.

You must stand your ground. Do not let yourself waver on the situation. If you are truly uncomfortable doing this "something", then you must make sure the person knows exactly where you stand. Good luck!!
