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

-Smita Mishra

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 refreshing.

Why are Trump supporters so incredibly stupid?

It’s very freeing.

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

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

How do you say "I don't speak Italian yet, but I hope to speak it well one day. It would be a pleasure to learn Italian with you. Would you like to teach me Italian?" in Italian?

No meant she is being rebellious.

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

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

Do you feel uncomfortable when you come across cross dressers?

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’

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

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

Why do women need to wear bras, in spite of the fact that the breasts are an integral part of the body?

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

But my mind wouldn’t let go of it.

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.

Why do so many men wait until they are retired or close to it to start having sex with Men? Most of them say they have always wanted to suck dick or be fucked. Why did you wait?

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 freeing.

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

Why do atheists not love a G-d that does not stop punishing them harder and harder in this world and the next until they surrender to Him?

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

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

Where are the gay people in India?

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

It’s very settling.

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

What is a narcissist grandmother like, with her grandchild?
