Which cause you more problems ,when your yes or not yes or when your no are not no?
Christ tells us in Matthew 5:37 But let your word ‘yes’ be ‘yes’ and your ‘no’ be ‘no’. Anything more than this is from the evil one.
I find my biggest problems come from when my no or not no. When I say yes I tend to do a better job, I’m more happy and more successful. Even when I fail I have a good reason and will go to whoever I said to and let them know why I failed.
When I say no and either are talked into it or pressure into saying yes I find that I don’t do as good of a job, I’m very unhappy and if I fail I don’t only feel that I do not need to explain why but I am more angry at who talked/pressure me into it than I am disappointed in myself.

I think the point of the lesson to Matthew is that it is better to speak simply and with assurance than to add all kinds of conditons to a response.
If you are sure of your values and life principles then you can say "yes" in one instance beacuse the answer is clear to you and "no" in another instance because the right response for you is the "no".
If you are clear about your principles of right, wrong, just and unjust etc then it will be difficult for anyone to pressure you either way. You will also be more content with yourself and your choices.
