If that means I'm not cut out for the job, oh well.

The beauty of brain plasticity is that you can learn to do things that don't initially come naturally to you... like saying no.

This happens all the time...it shouldn't be that big of a deal. I think that people who learn how and when to say "no" tend to last longer in biglaw.
