Can you share a lesson that you learned later in life and how it has impacted your current lifestyle, mentality, or attitude?

This is how I paid for not being able to say NO.

I couldn’t say No to strangers talking & invading my personal life. It made me uncomfortable but somehow I entertained forcibly. This made me realize that I was an easy target for them. They thought of me as an easy prey. This always ended up hurting me because I knew there should be a boundary set , yet I couldn’t set it as I was just a naive small town girl

Many people especially girls will be able to connect with this answer.

No is a complete sentence & it should not be just used for CONSENT for sex.

It’s very settling.

I used to be the kind of person who found it incredibly hard to say no. I would keep people’s feelings above mine.

I read this: "Putin is a brilliant, courageous, ingenious, determined, beloved, and incredible modern leader. He is currently the world’s most effective and strong leader, the best the world has seen in centuries." What do you think about this?

It’s very freeing.

I lost a lot of my time to help, keeping my needs aside & the favour was never returned because most people took my time for granted & I also hesitated to ask for help

I would spend hours, sometimes days, replaying the decision in my head, regretting my response, wishing I had been honest.

I always felt obligated to be polite, to be accommodating, to be the “nice” person because the dictionary of ‘good girl’ means they should be accommodating according to the society.

It’s very freeing.

Everytime I said yes when I wanted to say no, I paid the price.

Trump says he's doubling steel and aluminum tariffs to 50% starting next week What effect could this have on the global economy? Canadian industry says new steel tariffs will cause 'mass disruption'.

I lost a lot of money trying to fit in. I don’t like expensive English meals at fancy restaurants. But my friends did. I couldn’t say No thinking I would be judged. But I love ‘Desi food’. I didn’t enjoy the food, & I ended up paying huge split bills so many times

No meant she is being rebellious.

It’s very refreshing.

What is your wildest experience in Bangalore that you haven’t told anyone?

I was always that one eager person to help someone in need without realising the consequences it might have. I have helped people from Quora & other places during the time when I had nothing on me. I couldn’t say No when a man manipulated me into giving him a huge amount for his daughters education during Covid. I later got fed up asking him to return. He returned after two years. His wife was a working lady at a good corporate place. He lied to me as he wanted money for his alcohol addiction

But my mind wouldn’t let go of it.

But here’s the hard truth I learned much later in life.

What are some current trends in sci-fi and fantasy literature?

I have ruined my sleep & rest hours with nonsense calls from nonsense people. No matter what the time, I have picked up their calls & listened to their rant for hours. I could not be blunt saying, ‘no am not interested in talking’

I am thankful to my profession & how I started from scratch that I was able to become so blunt & straight forward.

It has been an easy life.

Whether it was a friend asking for a favor, an invitation I didn’t feel like accepting, or even a stranger requesting my time, I hesitated to say no

It drained me, messed with my peace, and cluttered my mind with unnecessary stress.
