Headaches...

just recovered from a very severe headache due to a lack of sleep since sat nite... bad experience... also having another "headache" over my hons proj stuff... i hope to find some direction soon... side tracking, i find it more and more difficult nowadays to balance between protecting the feelings of others and getting my point across... an eg is like someone asking a yes/no question abt smthg... i know he/she wld be hurt by an outright NO, so in consideration of tat, i just gave a whole list of reasons pointing towards "no"... but the events tat followed seems to show tat my point din get across... well so wat shd i do now? press for my point or dun hurt the person and just force myself to change the answer to yes? such a dilemma would face me even more in days to come... haiz~~~ is there no other way out?
