Is this a sin?

The Bible notes certain sins,like adultery, fornication,etc. Some other actions I see.it may not mention specifically so this question....would not taking no for an answer, after telling someone 20 times you don't want to do their request,considered a sin? I would think so, for 2 reasons.!, you're disrespecting the person,because they acknowledge they heard you,"I know you don't like to _____,BUT,if you could."{And it's not out of desperation,because I notice they have other channels, but want to make it easy on themselves}.Second, wouldn't it fall under selfishness,because they're thinking, it's not YOUR wishes that count, it's theirs, and if they have to do something you don't like,that's your problem.Further society{the world}pushes this type of attitude,"Don't worry about what "they" think,keep pushing it until they "give in". I say it's a sin, because it's an attitude that promotes selfishness, and it lacks consideration for, and disrespects, the next one.Pushing someone to do what YOU want,and not having concern for THEM, sounds like more of a work of the fallen sin nature than a fruit of the spirit.Yes?
 
I don't think the person not accepting you saying no is a sin, it's just disrespectful. Selfishness, however, is a sin. Selfish people are very dangerous because they will go to extreme lengths to get what they want. They don't care about anyone or anything but themselves and they don't care who they hurt in order to get what they want. And if you're not careful, their selfish ways will bring you down and lead you to sin. They don't listen to anyone and don't care what anyone says. When you say no, it just goes in one ear and out the other. I hope your situation gets better and I'll be praying for you and this person.
