Oh My!
This words makes you look like a person who can not give
decision and provide clear outcome on whatever he/she is doing. It also
portrays you as a person who expresses matters poorly and hard to understand.

It shows that one will not do it or do not know to do it. If
you have failed to do it several times say "I will repeat till i do it!"
or if the idea is new say "I need to know it, so i must learn how".
Probably
Along with phrases like "I guess" and "sort
of," is tentative and doesn't reflect confidence or strength. It can let
you down in situations where precise explanations are needed!
But
This word sometimes denies the truth of some words that
comes before it. A person told a phrase with but, will not expect 100% of what
you are telling him/her. It is to either use the word "and" or
re-phrase.
No
This word is harsh sometimes; you can convey the same
meaning with a phrase like 'I wish I could'.

Finder calls this a "poor attempt to instill candor and
truthfulness" that makes clients and coworkers question whether you're
really telling the truth.
Like
It shows that one is incompetence and poor communication
skills.
