You should stand your ground. Say no. It’s okay to say no.
There was a time when there was a competition in her school and her team didn’t get picked, and she was really upset.
She is so passionate about school work that if any of her teammates or classmates are not on the same page with her, she starts crying and some people are like “I don’t want to work with Laila, Laila’s own is too much.” I had to tell her that honey look, you need to be able to strike a balance. So managing those emotions can be overwhelming.”
