    They don’t expect you to pay for everything. Everyone who knows people like that also knows that they’ll easily get the money they need elsewhere.

    It’s honestly kinda sad that people like you, who seem to be generally generous and willing to help out, get driven towards this mindset.

    I’m pretty sure more than half of the money I give to beggars occasionally will be spent on booze and drugs, but I don’t really care. But when I do it I am the one who makes the decision to basically throw away my money. Plus if I lend someone money I consider it gone forever. But I never let someone guilt trip me into lending them money and I will aggressively call anyone out who tries. You seem to have a ton of really shitty people around you. Take care.
