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

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.

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

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

What is the reason behind some people wearing trunks instead of speedos when swimming in pools?

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

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

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

If atheists are so positive that there is no God, where is their proof that He does not exist?

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

But my mind wouldn’t let go of it.

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

If women aren't shallow, why do most tall, good-looking men have girlfriends?

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

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

It’s very refreshing.

Is anyone up to have a little conversation?

No meant she is being rebellious.

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 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

What are some tips for making your husband fall madly in love with you again after going through the worst phase of your marriage?

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

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

It’s very freeing.

Raw recap & reactions: Royal chaos - Cageside Seats

It’s very settling.

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

Hi, I’m Jo. My best friend died 2 years ago today. My husband died 6 months later. So, I’m a depressed mess (we were married 28 years) and can’t shake it. Even my Brother is worried. Some days I don’t do anything, and avoid men cause I don’t want to date. Any suggestions? Thanks for reading.

It has been an easy life.

It’s very freeing.

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
