Kind of angry about a messed up thing

A friend of mine was short on her rent she visited me a month ago after work and she was crying saying she going to be homeless this and that and asked to barrow money. I dont like to lend anything but gave in and loaned her 500 for a month well since then she has been ghosting me and not replying to my texts or even coming around. Its not about the money all the way i know her for 5 years so kind of feel betrayed as well i am out the 500 bucks so its like a double stab in the back. I am angry about it.
.
Any input guys?

It is awkward to face someone we owe money to. At that point there is just this concern like, "Is she going to bring up the $500?"

Whether or not she pays it back remains to be seen.

I imagine the next time you two are in contact, it will either be because she needs help again OR she wants to make good on the debt, or at least partially repay.

If she were truly just some freeloader, it would not have taken her five years to ask for money.

I would probably guess you will get repaid, it might take a while though.
