I grew up in the countryside as an energetic, helpful and obedient child. I was taught to say “Yes” to a lot of things rather than a “No.”
I remember saying a no to only those foods that I really did not like...Other than that I
have always compelled myself to come in terms with my family and friends as I am afraid of hurting their feelings. Thus, I got a tag of being “easy going”...But lately, I have realized that I have spent a lot of time and energy doing things for others and not caring about my personal satisfaction. Many times, we are unwilling to say just a “No” to make others happy and drag ourselves into stressful situations. This often allows people to take advantage of us and we are bound to do something that we cannot do with a willing heart. I usually end up chatting with my friends till 12 am, knowing that I have loads of assignment to complete and reach class by 7am. I end up lending cash to my friends, knowing that I myself will not be left with any pocket money. —kiran8821.wordpress.com
