There's many people in need who actually have to ask for help...not all of them are really in problem but I prefer to help if I can. There's many people here who can approach you on street asking for money or like you said to buy them some food. Those asking for food seem more genuine and often get it from people.

I wouldn't be able to walk away with a lie if someone asked me to buy them food, my conscience would hunt me for not helping them...
Maybe if this was a different year I would. I just don’t care anymore. I no longer feel bad for people like that.

" I don't get why you told them you had no money and they didn't ask for money."



She doesn't have money to purchase the food they asked for.
Well i would have to pay for the food?

How selfish is that?

I saw a woman sitting on a bench selling the Big Issue.....it was freezing...she had sold one copy. I bought one and then my ex did

I got chatting to her, from a foreign country, mother died, trying to support her brothers. I believed her...she was 18...younger than our lad. I knew she wasn't lying

We went back and gave her 20 quid..she hugged me and made me cry....poor girl

20 quid.....so what.....?

We all need help at times....whether it's money, emotional etc...

OP, you may need it one day

I should’ve stolen the food for them


You should have run. You said you got weird vibes from them and didn't trust them.

Trust your instincts.

Exactly. I walked out of the gas station and they were there waiting. The women looked crazy af. Looking at me like she was hiding something. Idk I can’t explain the look. It was just crazy. The guy was a smooth talker 👍

I only do things for good people. So I rarely do things

I wouldn’t look down on people in need except for once. This mfker approached me after I got out of my car and demanded I withdraw money from an atm and on top of that he said he’ll wait for me outside the liquor store where the arm was.
Did you slap the shit out of him

Nah I just laughed at him and took off lol

I'm not sure when did people become so distant and with 0 empathy for others...I've seen people here like the girl from your story many times here and if I can I will help! If they're scamming it's on their soul, if I don't help them and they are in need it's on my soul. I'd rather let myself be scammed than walk away from someone in need if I could help them. My bf and I ran onto many people like this over the years and tried to do something. One old lady stayed in my memory the most, she was standing in front of a big shopping center at incredibly cold weather asking for food only. She never asked anyone for money for anything. We went in, bought some groceries additional to what we needed and gave them to her. I can't describe how grateful she looked for that and it wasn't anything of a big deal really but at least she can make some meals from it...

It makes you wonder what went wrong and how people became so cold ? That lady you helped was genuine for sure. I bet she will remember your kindness for the rest of her life...bless you ❤️

People no longer care about others. I remember when my then husband was deployed to Afghanistan. I was 9 months pregnant, in a grocery store parking lot during a snowstorm.... My car battery died... NOT ONE PERSON WOULD HELP ME just jump start my car. I got that it was snowing hard.... but never in my life would I have not helped.



I would buy people food if I felt safe to proceed with them.

In my city, it is illegal to give money to panhandlers. first offense carries a $ 50 fine, a second offense $ 100 and a third offense, $ 300.

My city did an investigation on panhandling and the impacts and they had concluded that giving people on the street money, only enabled their dangerous and unhealthy life style , and that the people, who give money to panhandlers, may think they are helping a person in need, but the investigation showed that the money usually went towards buying alcohol / drugs.

The investigation also showed that, instead of giving to panhandlers, it is more helpful to donate time or money directly to social service agencies that provide food, clothing, shelter and other living necessities.

Our city’s Coalition on Homelessness, and other community groups offered public education on this matter.



But, regarding your question:

There is a child involved so if they sought out assistance they would be given expedited services for the family and an agency can offer more help and resources than I can. I almost feel like if I buy them food that they would not make an effort to reach out to these agencies to get them a more long term and stable solution.

However, I am a sucker. I have in the past bought people groceries who got their card declined at the grocery store or when they realized they didn’t have any or enough money to buy food. So in your situation I would have bought them food. After the fact, I usually realize that I should have directed them to a better solution.

If you don’t have the money to help people, you can always volunteer at an agency. I’ve been volunteering for agencies every year for the last 9.5years.
I hear stories about people’s cards getting declined and others paying. I don’t think I would ever do that. Who goes to the store without money? Without a budget? Then they want to cry when they are declined. I feel like it’s a set up. I think the worse of people

If it was close to a convenience/grocery store, and they didn't sketch me out too bad...

Then at least go buy em some water bottles, bread, peanut butter and jelly - or something similar. It costs what, like 5 bucks? And it will feet them for at least a couple days.

I've been on the shitty end of the stick before, it's not fun. If I can do something to help a fellow human bean out then why wouldn't I? It's a bitch move tbh.

We all rise together, or we all fall together. Simple.

I would’ve just bought them food .

I have on many occasions walked downtown with box of left over from restaurants. Doesn’t happen often but a few times homeless women will start a conversation with me . It usually go along the line of “what you got there ? “ me-“left over from ...”

I hate giving left over but from the look in their eyes I can tell they’d like some . So I would say “I’m pretty full already , it’s just leftover butwould you like it ?”

It’s a bit of uncomfortable situation because I feel rude giving left over , but I bet to them it is simply food

However I am a girl who is usually by myself . Some homeless people can come off a little sketchy for me to interact with. In that case I stay alert and walk fast .

I waitresses at many restaurants and sometime homeless people walk in . We always give em food for free, something inexpensive like fried rice ... it’s hard to turn em down

It does not always end in a positive outcome.

I was in Chinatown when a Chinese lady came up to me and asked if I could buy her soup. There were only restaurants around (where each dish costs on average about $ 15 Canadian). I told her I couldn't, but I gave her $ 5 (which you could buy soup at a certain coffee place here in Canada) and apparently she thought I was stingy for not giving more. She said something like "Chinese people should help each other out" after I gave the $ 5.

Hi miss, how are you? 🙂

Some people hey? I would have said to her "well I didn't have to give you anything and if you wait for the next two "stingy" people to come along, you may get your 15 quid ....

I've seen third world poverty in person.....that changed everything for me.

tbh, I get irritated now in the states.
the poverty in 3rdd world countries are really horrific to see.

my mother in law said that the worst is in madagascar. the poor is soooo poor. she said it's not the same kind of poor in India. India in the streets is poor but they peddle.

in madagascar, you cant really peddle.

The last time I offered to pay for a person's meal at a store: it was early morning and a sober homeless man was paying for soup in coins. It turned out he didn't have enough to pay for his soup. He began to walk away leaving the soup behind, but then I told the employee that I'd pay for his soup. The man thanked me. I don't think this was staged. He didn't even ask for help. Also, I didn't know his circumstances as to why he couldn't budget....🙄

That’s a different situation

I’m talking about people (mostly mothers) being in a grocery store buying groceries for like 200 dollars and not being able to covered

And asked you to buy them food

A man came up to me and asked me to buy him food. He was with his baby momma and kid. He said his car got towed and it’s how he was able to live?

I told him I didn’t have money and I have to get to class.

Just weird vibes from the both of them. I didn’t trust them

Especially the women
If there is a kid, I will definitely buy or give money. Happens here a lot. But mostly women with kids....

Some women hire children to beg tho. Like everyday women with small babies will be begging for alms. It's sad but because most of them hire these babies and you don't want to encourage them at the same time it's impossible to say no...

It’s not impossible to me. If I sense something weird I won’t do it

You have a bad attitude. You wouldn’t want someone treating you like that. Not everyone has friends/family to help them out. What goes around, eventually comes around. All of your posts are paranoid and I think you just need to stay inside from now on.
Not paranoid

I just DON’T give a fuck about MOST people

I love my family and a few of my friends. I give to those people

I don’t give to people I have no attachment to. Does that make any sense?

So what you're saying you base who people are on their looks and only do this when people fit into your own desciption of looking like good people even tho you judge by cover? He could have stabbed you or kicked you and took your walled, but he chose to lower his pride as a man and ask for help. Damn that's kinda sad if you ask me, no empathy

It's not about the vibe, as you said you only care about your own family and your own people, that means you don't do any others any good, well it's your choise, but it just shows how self centered you are if the only ones you can help is the people who are closest to you. Because you knew they couldn't give you nothing and couldn't offer you nothing in return you didn't even bother 😄

I go out every other weekend with a cannabis group and give out food, clothing, toiletries, and doobies to our local homeless. I will give them food more often but I will also give a buck more often than not. Luckily our mayor is trying to do something to help our local homeless but for now, I can't stand the thought of anyone going on hungry. For my SO, his mom used to beat him and his little brother when she had no dinner to give them so she didn't have to tell them there was no dinner when she sent them to bed.... he was 9 but his brother was only 4. This is why he gives. We have had to steal food at our very lowest and I think about that everyday and how thankful I am to be where I am now. I don't like suffering. Sure some people choose their fates but compassion should not be lost due to a few bad eggs. You may not reach all 10 people you help but you could help 1 of those who goes on to help 1 more who maybe goes out and helps many! It's setting an example and taking responsibility for the community and society.

well now you're being judgemental, even if you help you are selfish, because you receive that good thing you feel inside if you, you do it because you receive that good feeling, if you wouldn't feel good you wouldn't do it, helping someone is also selfish if you look from psychological point of view. Sure you help him, but at the end of the day you also receive that good feeling inside, so you do it because you know you'll get that feeling because you love helping people.

And a lot of people here are saying “wow I would want someone to do that for me” so you only help so karma can come to you in a good way? Nobody does good things for no reason. It’s all to feed their ego or get something in return EVENTUALLY

I only help my family and friends because I love them

I would’ve bought food. I never carry cash so if they even tried to refund it and it was somehow successful, it’d go back into my debit card
Still not always smart. My job offers cash back if paid with a debit card.

Debit is considered cash I guess
They actually refund cash? I never knew places do that. I suppose maybe here in California they don’t. They always verify the last four digits and then refund the balance by method of payment used

Well most companies don’t do it, but mine does

" I don't get why you told them you had no money and they didn't ask for money."



She doesn't have money to purchase the food they asked for.


Well i would have to pay for the food?


That's why I said - She doesn't have money to purchase the food they asked for.


I should’ve stolen the food for them


You should have run. You said you got weird vibes from them and didn't trust them.

Trust your instincts.


Exactly. I walked out of the gas station and they were there waiting. The women looked crazy af. Looking at me like she was hiding something. Idk I can’t explain the look. It was just crazy. The guy was a smooth talker 👍

I only do things for good people. So I rarely do things
So what you're saying you base who people are on their looks and only do this when people fit into your own desciption of looking like good people even tho you judge by cover? He could have stabbed you or kicked you and took your walled, but he chose to lower his pride as a man and ask for help. Damn that's kinda sad if you ask me, no empathy


It’s all about a vibe and energy people put off. I have gotten into situations where I knew someone was bad, did it and got fucked over

Why do a repeat lmao


It's not about the vibe, as you said you only care about your own family and your own people, that means you don't do any others any good, well it's your choise, but it just shows how self centered you are if the only ones you can help is the people who are closest to you. Because you knew they couldn't give you nothing and couldn't offer you nothing in return you didn't even bother 😄
Why should i help people I’m not involved with?
Well it depends on person, you shouldn't, it would only show you're a kind person thats all. I treat every single person the same, i'm kind to everyone as long as they don't do anything bad for me, i know i have more than then so i can share some of what i have, i show compassion, empathy and give something in return for feeling good. By doing so you show you understand and you have compassion for others and you're not self centered person who only helps when he can get something in return. 🙂

So you do it so people can view you in a certain way? Interesting reasoning and logic

It's not about the vibe, as you said you only care about your own family and your own people, that means you don't do any others any good, well it's your choise, but it just shows how self centered you are if the only ones you can help is the people who are closest to you. Because you knew they couldn't give you nothing and couldn't offer you nothing in return you didn't even bother 😄
It'd not about the vibe ... It's about being self absorbed and selfish
well now you're being judgemental, even if you help you are selfish, because you receive that good thing you feel inside if you, you do it because you receive that good feeling, if you wouldn't feel good you wouldn't do it, helping someone is also selfish if you look from psychological point of view. Sure you help him, but at the end of the day you also receive that good feeling inside, so you do it because you know you'll get that feeling because you love helping people.
And a lot of people here are saying “wow I would want someone to do that for me” so you only help so karma can come to you in a good way? Nobody does good things for no reason. It’s all to feed their ego or get something in return EVENTUALLY

I only help my family and friends because I love them


Thats not true, the good feeling that you helped someone is enough for me, i don't expect anything back because i know they can't give me anything, either way i give because it makes me compassione, kind and more human and i feel good about myself by helping someone who's unable to help himself. Great example would be Pacquiao, he earned 100milion in a fight and for 50mil he build 1000houses for poor people, that shows how much compassion and empathy he has even tho he's on top, he's humble and helping the one's that need help, not the ones that have enough already, by doing good things and sharing good energy 🙂

Yeah maybe the person you’re helping can’t help you, but in the back of your mind you are hoping someone else will 🙂

Well when you donate huge sums of money it def helps with your taxes in a good way. Just like when you donate your car 😩

There’s no such thing as a selfless deed

Sorry to break that to you

No, i already said i do it because i feel good about myself by doing and i spread good energy around, because more people need to be more kind and understanding rather than only self centered, plenty of people who don't have anything and people who help more can help them, it's not everyone's journey, like for you it's only you and your family. And by making rhetorical question you want to make me sound less without making any logic reason and make yourself right, an Aries EGO thing. 😄

So you do it to make yourself feel good? Exactly my point. It’s for your own ego. Hiring your ego isn’t always a bad thing

You just admitted you do it to make yourself feel good.

I didn't lol. I just said helping others makes me feel good, that doesn't mean it's the only thing that does. I have huge goals, dreams and i'm happy, thats why i share my happyness with everyone, and you're around making no logic try to look tough and wanting for everyone to stroke your ego . 😄

If you’re feeling good doesn’t it feed your ego? Just like when someone says “wow you look beautiful/handsome?”

Everyone has different egos. You feed yours by making people happy. Thus you’re selfish because it makes you feel some type of way. EVERYONE is selfish. You’re a liar if you say you’re not

You should know the difference between self and the ego 😉 On a ego level i'm not selfish because i don't receive anything , on self level i'm because it makes me feel happy just like when you give something to someone close to you, but the thing is you receive something back, and that's ego, you don't give anything without any expectation, so you're doing it from the ego, not from the self 😉 Studdy some psychology rather than always trying to believe you're right lool

You’re gaining something when you help a stranger

That’s happiness

Gain isn’t always tangible 🙂
