That immediate reaction...
How do you respond to those whom might ask for your spare change on the street? 🤔

Wish I could say I was a good person who helps all who need it, but I'm not. I usually try to get out of that situation as soon as possible.
I know there are those who genuinely need that money and would make good use of it, but at least in the broader area I live in I've seen more than enough of fake, "organized begging". It has been part of eroding my trust in those who roam the streets. Bad seeds ruining it for the good ones, but I can no longer tell them apart.
That combined with not having all that much income myself and a fair dose of social anxiety, my immediate reaction is that I want nothing to do with it and want the quickest route out. 😕
