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

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

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

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

How do you get people to follow your Quora Space?

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

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

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

Is it true that in 2028 there will be a new AIDS variant that will wipe out all the LBGTQ+ people?

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.

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

It’s very freeing.

What questions will be asked by the executive director of JP Morgan for 6 years of experience in Java? The technical rounds are already cleared.

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

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

It’s very freeing.

Why do women stubbornly refuse to let men lead, even though they are attracted to the man, and the man both loves and desires them? Why do they get angry and blame the man when he gets fed up and walks away, when it's entirely their own fault?

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

But my mind wouldn’t let go of it.

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

Can you recommend a simple song with an awesome solo? What makes the solo stand out?

No meant she is being rebellious.

It’s very refreshing.

Do you think some men have sex with prostitutes because they're too afraid to talk to women? Money does the talking for them.

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

It’s very settling.

It has been an easy life.

Why did my ex replace me so fast?

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

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

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’

Trump always acts like he was forced to be president, that he was chosen by God. Why do we put up with this? This maniac can't focus and get his mind off of being asskissed like an emperor.
