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?

Never, ever, loan money to friends or family. Actually, unless you're a banker, just don't loan money. Period. If you want to help, help. Give them whatever you feel you can do without. Odds are you have lost a friend because they can't or won't pay you back and they are afraid to admit it to you and/or embarrassed. You have little recourse unless you have a written contract. If you did that, you can try small clauns court.
