EN: to harden one's heart; to be resolute
This is you when your friend asks to borrow money for the 5th time this month and you finally say no. It's that 'pasensya na, pero hindi na talaga pwede' moment. It's not about being mean, it's about setting boundaries, even if it feels tough. You **harden your heart** for your own sanity (and wallet).
Compound word from 'tigas' (hard) and 'loob' (inside, will, spirit).
Can have both a positive connotation (being resolute, firm) and a negative one (being unfeeling, stubborn). Context is key.
