Has this ever happened to you?

Now this is pretty much the worst experience I had to go through all year. Here's what happened: This person that I know and WAS (said for a reason) cool with at the time was in a bind, supposedly. She needed wheels since her car was repossessed, and needed wheels. A co-worker of ours was supposedly selling a car, and she wanted it, but here's where it got bad: She wanted me to help her out. It wasn't just a few extra dollars. She needed a large sum, like in the hundreds, make that 600. I wanted no part of this and was trying to get out of doing it. Everything I can, like moving away from the subject and was told to stick by my instincts, and I was trying to. Then came a certain point when she was hounding me for the money. Of course, in the end, it was 400 dollars less then what I had given to her, so it was only 200 dollars that I gave her, not 600, but in all honesty, I wanted no part of this. I had deliberately told her that I despised lending people money because I had been screwed over before. I didn't want it to happen again. Even when she was hounding me for the money, I was getting sick to my stomach. Very queasy and nauseous. The only reason why I gave her money was because I had enough of her hounding me, in other words, she cracked me. I never saw her again after that day, but I have a feeling that I will see her or speak to her again, but it won't be in the most pleasant sense. I am really pissed off at her because of it. In all seriousness, you can very well think that I was too trusting, but that wasn't the case at all. I learned that I need to put my foot down when I seriously don't want to do it, especially if it's something that I really hate doing. Also, it was hard to say no, even when I tried, because I was fed a bunch of crap like "I will pay you back", "I'm not trying to screw you", etc. Since then, I have not had any reason to speak to her. If she ever does call, or if I ever cross paths with her, she better be in for the biggest confrontation of all.

Also, have you ever gotten queasy when you were under a lot of pressure or stress? I heard that it can happen under extreme circumstances that extreme stress can lead to you wanting to throw up.

Update:

By the way, I'm a guy. But I agree.

    Pressure is intangible and therefore subject only to your perception of it. If you had a very different mental constitution, all of the badgering in the world would have had no effect on you, especially since it runs counter to your better judgment. So, in all honesty, who are you angrier with? Them, for pressuring you, or yourself for caving in?

    You go Gurl! Give that chic a piece of your mind and tell her to give back every penny that you lent her the car is yours. Good Luck!
