This is becoming more common in my town. I just either feel like an ass saying I dont have cash, or lying, but I also can’t be giving out 20’s to everyone who asks.
I feel bad for most of them but at the same time I get anxiety walking down the sidewalk and seeing someone up ahead that I know is going to ask me for money. Its not like you can say “oh no, I donate to services that help the needy” because that person isn’t necessarily being helped by that. And ignoring completely feels so mean, plus I tried that one time and the person was screaming at me as i walked away that I ignored them.
I also dont want my city to round them up and send them to prison camps, something they are planning and that I know a lot of people would vote for just to “get rid of them” but im not supporting that at all.
Its tough.
But I can understand what you were saying :)
Do you want me to rewrite it for you how I would say it?
Ye. Not native i am:]
I would say that like this:
I experienced this once. When I was 22, I gave out about 10 dollars and kept being asked (I was too shy to say no!) I ended up giving out 50 dollars. I took it out of the money I had saved for college.
But you really did great and it was a good story
Actually a good one. Thx.
You’re welcome. If you ever want me to do it again just let me know :) I am very impressed by anyone learning more than one language. I only really know this one.
