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

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

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 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

Does having the wrong address on my car insurance invalidate my policy?

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

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

It’s very refreshing.

Why do I have the impression that almost all questions about advertising the flat Earth theory come from people who don't believe in a flat Earth themselves and are just provoking?

It has been an easy life.

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

It’s very freeing.

Why are European countries warning European travelers to be careful traveling to the United States?

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

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

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

What are some good inspirational movies?

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

It’s very freeing.

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

If everyone hates censorship so much, why do those “censorship-free” alternative social media sites always fail?

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

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

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

How is TikTok able to censor porn?

It’s very settling.

No meant she is being rebellious.

But my mind wouldn’t let go of it.

How do I cope with the fact that I will never have a girlfriend?
