No one has insulted you. I don’t allow name calling.
This isn’t bullying. We don’t even call names here. We told you you made bad decisions and to work on it.
Internet police!
And threats!
False equivalency
She literally could have passed away.
You could have driven that girl to suicide by giving her $500 for drugs / alcohol and taking her dog.
I’m now thinking the dog would be better off with a fresh start somewhere else if his mom doesn’t want him back.
“ once again that not everyone is the same as you so if you’re giving advice on an advice forum it might be beneficial to realize some people ARE irrational at times and people do things that you yourself would never even consider.”
We do get that. That’s why we’re saying to focus on therapy.
Your therapist isn’t supposed to tell you what to do, but look, if you’re going weekly then I assume you are dealing with some pretty substantial things right now. You’re “going through it.” It seems like you’re taking actions that are not in your own, or others’ best interest. You have irrational fears. You unintentionally committed a crime. That is a lot to unpack and work through… those patterns of behavior. Definitely enough to focus on there, and if you have extra money you can always donate it to reputable community groups. Or buy food vouchers to hand out even, so you’re prepared to help if someone asks for food.
Do you get that giving cash to people on the street can actually be harmful? If it’s enough to go buy a substance they’re addicted to? Without knowing their issues, that could be dangerous.
“ Do you guys really never just go out of your way to help people?”
I do sometimes get asked for something specific by people on the street and if I can help then I do. A sandwich. A Dunkin card. A T pass. Even a prepaid credit card to help buy a coat. I don’t give anyone more than a few bucks cash. Most importantly, I don’t ever TAKE anything from them.
