Good Way to loose friends and potential ones.
In my youth I too struggled with the word "NO".
Now when people in need ask or ask to borrow and I decide to give, I'll just resign myself to accept the fact that I'll never see it ever again, which is usually the case.
One such person actually hid her face as I passed by the table she was sitting at with co-workers in a restaurant.
I could have made a scene and probably have her fired (using company financial records) but felt this was payment enough (shame & guilt) from her.
