One of the best adjustments I've made in life is no longer loaning money to people. I used to do it a TON in my youth, and it was really sad how often people ended up resenting me over their guilt about owing me money. What I do now instead is just give people money. No expectations, no conditions.
Obviously I don't hand it out like candy (would that I could), but by just giving the money away I avoid that weird guilt situation for the most part and people are more thoughtful about asking me for help because the dynamics are different.
They won't. But you have still won control over the situation because you have taken charge of how you deal with this.♥️. Maybe in future you'll make another change.
