I just wonder if 'There's no need.' means a bit rude or not? |

I think "there's no requirement" means that you don't have to do something or you are not obligated to do something as in :There's no requirement that jobs be meaningful. If there was, half the country would be unemployed.
While "there's no need" means that I don't need you to do something as in: There's no need to help me do my homework.
Just my two cents. |

Hi,
'There's no need' isn't really rude but just a way of saying that you don't have to.

I also thinks so. "There is no need" is not polite! |
