Getting Walked on By an Aggressive Panhandler

[Billie28]

Many are suffering from a mental illness due to a drug addiction.

 

And many of those suffering drug addiction is due to childhood trauma that was never dealt with correctly.

You're beating yourself up over this situation? I encounter a pan handler at least once a day, sometimes, I'm able to, I help them out. But if I was to say yes to every stranger that asks for a buck, I'd be giving away at least 3 dollars everyday.

So, I've just learned to say no, and I wish someone would intimdate me into giving them something I dont even owe them.

Don't dwell on this, see this as your good deed of the day but in the future you must learn to say no & not let anyone intimidate you.

It sounds like he was testing your boundaries with the "You got this right?"

meh... it was a beer. THink of it as you giving him a little bright spot in his day and move on. Next time, simply say "no."
