This happened in my visit to India.
I don't accept cash as gift, this is my own rule. Whereas we got in India as custom to give cash to relatives as gift.
As I refused it from everybody, even from one of my brother too that he felt so bad and he said that may be you are too happy in your life that is why you are not accepting money from me.
So go and you get sorrow and then you will accept cash as gift.
His saying really hurt me and I got worried about it.
--------------------------------------------
Any suggestion please as this is disturbing in my mind.

Here's a saying that may help in this case...
"Don't sweat the small stuff."

Yes, you are right don't pet them.
I wish that I should be strong enough by ignoring all these small matters.

You're being too harsh on yourself.

Why insist on doing things a certain way that much?

Man should strive to find his peace of mind, not the opposite.

D for Defiant, I know sVirgo, and I know her well, I do not think she would appreciate you bumping all her threads...although she is so nice, she would not tell you, so I will...

You have no right, to do this to people...
