Pushed away: Vodka
“If it comes easily, I assume I've done it wrong.”
It takes the hard route by default and finds ways to make the straightforward version costly, so that effort is always visible and success keeps arriving late or not at all. Parenting that accused and assumed the worst made struggle into the only honest-looking condition, since a person under permanent suspicion cannot afford to be seen having anything the easy way. What it asks for is one thing taken by the short route, kept, and not explained.
It echoes Karna, who was given away at birth and accused of being what he was not for the rest of it, and who turned down the offer that would have settled everything in favour of the harder road he had already chosen. The form implies a task: to look closely at the next offer before refusing it.
