The No That Cost Me a Friend

A school friend I hadn't spoken to in years called me one evening and asked for two lakh rupees. I said no. I thought I was being sensible. I lost the friendship anyway.

This episode of The Inner Game is about something we rarely say out loud in Indian families. What it does to you to become the person everyone turns to when they need money. The silent weight of being the one who made it. The resentment you were raised to believe you had no right to feel. And how to tell, before you answer, whether you're giving out of love or out of fear.

If you've ever been the wall your family leans on, or you've lost someone over a yes you couldn't give, this one is for you.

Stay till the end for the one question I now ask myself before I give anyone money, and a small practice you can try the next time your phone lights up with a request.

I'd like to hear your version. Have you said no to someone close and paid for it? Or said yes and quietly carried it for years? Tell me in the comments.
